The Countdown Begins

Remarkably in six weeks time I will be underway with the ride.

I am taking the maxim 'fail to prepare, prepare to fail' very seriously and I am in the middle of an extended run of consecutive days rides of over 30 miles per day. This began on Friday and by Wednesday I will have had six consecutive days in the saddle. After four days things are holding up reasonably well apart from a bit of back ache.

Fund raising was started in earnest last week last week and  the response from people has been fantastic. I am already a quarter of the way to my fund raising target but there is much still to be done.

I have written to each and every football club that I am visiting and the responses are beginning to come in. I will blog separately on the responses from football clubs as needless to say the response has been mixed.

If anyone out there would like to sponsor t-shirts for the ride please get in touch.

I will sign off now and rest heavy legs until this evenings ride.
