Went over with BNUT and the Welshman to talk with Bob from the St Neots Rotary about his Etape ride in 2001 - we are riding this year's event in July.
Tough doesn't come near enough in description, and the near third proportion of drop-outs in many of the years' rides bears testament to how hard a physical challenge this is going to be.
We all feel that the 960 mile LeJog ride is going to get us to a good standard of mile and climb fitness, but are going to need some hard work to maintain this through a further 8 weeks of preparation - what have we done?
On a lighter note - 7 sleeps to go!!
The van is ready - see photo - and raring to be driven by a most careless bunch of drivers - a cacophony of points declared when licences asked for. We had better buy some Road Angel detectors for the van to avoid certain impoundment after a 114 mile dash through the narrow routes of Cornwall and Devon.
I am sending out invites to all helpers so they can blog too.
