Only days before we start the ride

On Saturday we start the UK leg of the ride and will leave home at 6 on the 27th to head to London and then on to Dover, covering 283km over two days. It all feels a bit real now, the training has been good and I think we're ready, but we won't actually know until we're on the ride. I've continued to enjoy shorter rides with friends on mountain bikes, but did manage an 80km on Saturday morning to keep in practice. I'll get out when I can this week, but intend to take it easy so I'm fit for the weekend.
