It’s 7pm on Wednesday, that means only 84 hours until I leave Lands End. Not sure how I’m feeling at the moment, not really excited, or even apprehensive, I think I am looking forward to getting started, or it might just be that I’m looking forward to yet another school holiday. Things are starting to come together though. I have a collection of bike things that I need to take with me sorted out, I have a list of the food stuff that needs to be taken with me, and clothes can look after themselves. We have had conformation that our house sitters will be arriving on Friday so our plants, pets, and garden will all be fed, watered and looked after.
A new development is that I will now have company for part of the ride. We have decided to take my sons bike with us, he will be joining me for the first two miles on day one and the last 2 miles on day 7. Who knows, in a couple of years or so we might be able to do the whole ride together.
I have today tipped over the £2000 mark on the thermometer. This being made up of about £800 of sponsorship to be paid on completion, and £1200 of donations already made. I am clearly happy to have reached my target but rather than sit back and smile, I have done the only sensible thing I could think of and made my thermometer bigger.
A BIG thanks to all who have sponsored of donated, and a small poke of encouragement to those who have not.
