1st stage complete! Bojour france.

Right! I have just got to calais- all is good. Very tired as i have cycled 81miles today. Slumped infront of the tv and went to get some food. Who would have thought it, 6 of us going all pretty fit, my dad made it up the big hill to dover. Fair play but i am doubtful about the sincerity of his claim. ..... Keep donating! People have worked so hard on behalf of our country!! Click on the link in my previous posts or the picture of me and dad!! Cheers

Its lunch time the day before...

I am starting to feel apprehensive about the next 4 days. I can visualise the romance of cycling from London to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but little thought goes to the actual effort of getting between the two locations. Starting will be a great feeling and so will finishing, however having only done about 250 miles of cycling to prepare for this, I dont feel to perky about the challenge ahead. So! Despite the fact that I feel immensily underprepared I am suited in confidence of youth and am ready to go.

Anyway I will blog every night and hopefully before I leave each morning. Wish me luck!!
