If the efforts of the pro cyclists has whet your appetite, then stay tuned! Toby and myself will be donning our yellow jerseys (fluorescent, admittedly...) and banging out 14 back-to-back stages of around 110 miles, albeit at a slower pace than the pro's.
And this weekend, Toby took the worse the British weather could throw at him. Rain, sunshine, thunder and lightning wasn't enough to prevent him completing his Saturday training ride.
I had my usual bimble around Essex this morning, and trialled an exciting app that enabled viewers to track my progress via GPS. The pilot appeared a success, and while we can't boast a live high-definition TV feed on a cable sports channel like Froomey and his mates give you, we are hoping to bring you some or all of the ride in real time! So if you'd like to know which bit of England, France or Spain we are tackling each day, then the facebook page is definitely the place to be!And Karen briefed myself and Toby on the logistics for the coming fortnight, and all I can say, is the military precision of Karen's planning suggests this fundraising trip will be absolutely AMAZING! Mine and Toby's legs might be spending hours turning over from next Sunday, but I can assure you that Karen, and all the people who have given up hours of their free time to make this happen have put in multiple shifts to get this event to the start line. And for that, we salute you! All we need now is an end to the current heatwave affecting parts of Spain. #SCORCHIO!
So bookmark the blog, like the facebook page, and keep tuned for the start of the big ride! We couldn't do it without your support!
ps. the fundraising links are up at the top of this blog on the right hand side. Go on. You KNOW you want to...
