Take your marks...
Bottoms hardened, muscles prepared, we are literally counting down the hours until we begin the 3 and a half day mount to Paris.
In a nutshell, the past month has been an eventful one. Sophie is now an expert puncture doctor, I have purchased my second bike since the start of 2011, and as a team we have reached our fundraising target! Fantastic!
But of course, in times of stress and strain tantrums and tears are as natural as hiccups at 3 am on a Saturday night. It was however a bit of a shock to discover, only yesterday, that we won't be taking a direct route to Paris- rather; we will be getting a ferry over night to St. Malo and cycling to Paris via the beautiful region of Brittany. At least we can be proud in the knowledge that we are not doing the easiest route- I suppose there will be much satisfaction to be had once we arrive in Paris with blistered bottoms having seem the oldest Medieval castle in France and a very famous phallic monument (not the Eiffel Tower- unbeknown to me, France is the proud home of a number of similar landmarks).
I suppose now we just need to get up and go go go!!!
Thanks to everyone who has so kindly sponsored us- you have helped us half way to the finish line. We will be updating you on a daily basis throughout the trip, so please do leave us messages of support and cheer us on- we will need it.
