Ok, so less than a month to go before we head for sunnier skies and flatter roads (has anyone looked at the topography around Bordeaux?).
We're planning a final training cycle ride this Saturday across the North Downs, taking Box Hill, Leith Hill and Newlands Corner!
This is the route.
50 miles, so will need to carb-load a day (or preferably 2 or 3 days) before.
Girls, if you're reading this, make your men eat something sensible!
My bike has been rebuilt, but has a tendency for the chain to slip when going up hills! This could be a problem.
Ordered my soft cycle bag, and a shiny new bell which has written on it "required by law", which although not the case here, is in some European countries, such as Denmark and Germany!
