Wow, it's here.
I confess, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. 6 months ago, this was a bravado laden idea that sounded exciting but might not actually happen - something that would be a great story to tell. When I left work yesterday it all got very, very real.
Shit.
We have to do this.
I'm not worried about my physical ability to complete the ride, or any of the rest of the team for that matter, it's more the mental aspect of it. Day 1 is the hilliest terrain and was always going to take a toll, but now we have to add rain to the hills. Getting to Newhaven this afternoon will almost be as big of a victory as getting to Paris will be. It's already going to be 1km further than I'd planned so that we avoid what will now be a big pool of mud rather than 200m of dirt track.
Thank you all for your support so far and please keep it coming. Your tweets and comments will keep us motivated.
Stay tuned for frequent updates...
