All packed up and ready to head up to the Stratford area. My number is 6100 and i start time is 9am

After a week off riding with a stiff neck and shoulder, back on the bike today for my first dress rehearsal ride wearing all the clothes I'll be wearing on the big day. The bike still has all my heavy commuting gear on it- so pretty pleased I'm with the 33 miles in about 2.5 hours. Early Saturday morning riding without traffic is fantastic!

Totally blown away by all the support so far..thank you everyone! Pay no attention to the my target funding amount..its just a number! Anything we raise all goes to a great cause! Just 50 days to go now! "Training" is going well - I'm lucky(ish) that work is 13 miles away from home, so riding most days racks up the miles pretty quickly :-) I'll write a bit more on my trusty steed of a bike next week...
