Nowhere near me, obviously, so I'll just have to virtually cheer you on
They have provided riders with a paper map - with the key points only. There will be marshals along the route, but not as numerous as the "standard" L2B - but then there are only 1-2000 people doing this, not the 30,000 that take part in June.
Thanks for the sponsorship Rhona - very kind.
I didn't post a link as I didn't want it to look like I'd just come back on-vine to beg generous Grapes for their hard-earned.
However, if anyone would like to sponsor me, I'd be very grapeful; Wayne Coulter is fundraising for British Heart Foundation
Fund raising has been tough this year. Still every bit helps the BHF do their work.
I do have padded shorts, I also now have a brand new spangly bike to ride on - it's mahoosive as you'd expect...
What's known in the trade as a "29er" on account that the wheels are 29" rather than the standard 26". Tried it last night and it's much more comfortable for a man of my stature.
Nervous!? Me?

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

Thankfully, we decided not to camp, and to head straight back afterwards.
I could barely walk after the ride. My legs have never felt so painful.
If, in a few months time I decide to sign up for this again, someone point me to this post and remind me how hard it was.

All you need is someone to get on a bike with you. My partner was the same - now she loves cycling.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/
