Sat 27th July - Packing day

 Night before

So we are heading down to Cornwall tomorrow morning and have already packed - I think we just want to get started.

Seeing both bikes here has made me realise a few things:

1) It will be a very different ride to my solo challenge 14 years ago. Same distance, but an extra 50% to the time. I will also have Tracy for company. Should be good except when it is hilly and/or she is hangry.

2) Too late to lose the weight that I was on planning on.

3) My hedge needs cutting.

Any how, my kit comes in at 15kg and Tracy's at 13.3kg. That's 33lb and 29lb in old money. I have to say that I have no real frame of reference for either unit, but  whether it is metric or imperial, I know that it will feel heavier on every climb.

Miles covered: 0 (apart from riding around the carpark at Jon's bike repair - thanks for all the help this year mate!)

Cake of the day: None

Tracy whinge factor 0/10 - calm before the storm
