Dont forget you can still make a donation now if you havn't had a chance already http://www.cmrf.org/sponsorshipPage/show/889
Being finally here after all the training, the hard work, and the kind donations that have seen us get over the grand mark, it should help me when im suffering. The COl De Marie blanque is one im fearing, its top goes at 12% for 4km's iv done 13% for 700metres and suffered like a dog, i dont do very steep as im a bigger lad. During the etape many had to dismount to get up it.
The heat is the other issue, last Wednesday during the tour it looked insufferable, im ok in heat but sweat alot so im hoping that one the 200km days i dont have to ride in baking heat all day.
Packed off the bike and a gear bag on the wednesday, so just my 2nd bike now and my helmet and shoes with me (a cyclists key tools apart from the bike) Since taking on this challenge iv totally turned around, i weight under 79kg this morning for first time since god knows when, the last 5months have seen me pedal 4,555km and climb 49,700metres its been good and its been bad, and the hardest week is ahead, hope to catch up with as many people as possible when i get back, and have a few cherries and maybe leave the bike alone for a week or two.
