I thought that i would at least start the ball rolling with my 1st entry on the London to Paris blog. I have a lot to do seeing as we have 122 days to go.
My main focus over the next few weeks is to get a suitable bike that is up to the job and then with some fettling get it to a configuration that works for me.
I had not appreciated how complicated it can be to prepare your body and bike for sitting in the saddle for 8 hours a day for 3 days solid. I have even been measuring my "Sit Bones" to find a seat that will mean i can at least walk after we have finished. Updates on selected seat to follow......
I hope to get some miles under my belt over the weekend as i have a bike that i am trialling from a friend.
Sponsorship is going well with £135 raised so far in the first day (was helped by a £50 donation from my Mum)
Well that's it for now and will be back when i have completed a number of miles.
