Nearly there...

Nearly there now, the last week has been busy with me getting all the last minute planning sorted, what didn’t help was finding a leak on the front caliper yesterday which saw me driving over to Dewsbury to Padge’s house to steal the front brake off his bike as non of my other ones would fit.

I’ve just ridden it round the block and it seems fine so fingers crossed everything else will hold together for the duration of the weekend!!!

I’m taking it easy this week with just 2 training rides, the second of which is tomorrow at a steady pace then the next time I throw a leg over it will be at the start.

An early rise on sat will see both me and Rich (welsh coast to coast) setting off at 6am to make use of as much daylight as possible, Rich is hoping to be done by 4am, lucky sod, and myself by midday Sunday. I plan on having fish and chips at the sea front if I ever get there, we’ll have to wait and see…..
