Tomorrow sees me doing the first edition of Velothon Wales. 15,000 people will set off tomorrow to race 140km around a closed road circuit of South Wales. I'm a little nervous of the big climb heading up to Abergavenny: Ostensibly I'll be doing it with Dan Palmer, but he has an earlier start time and should be quicker than me. Whilst I beat his time during the Tour of Berkshire, I'm certain that he's determined to set the record straight and this time he won't still be recovering from a chest infection! I'm a little nervous, but have a fair amount of hope that with the sheer numbers I'll be able to drift behind plenty of people to conserve energy and hope to be able to get up The Tumble. Once I'm up there I should be fine for the remainder. I've done these distances before, so really shouldn't be suffering from butterflies but nevertheless I am! If nothing else, it should give me a good bit of practise before I hit the Pyrenees in the Summer.
