5 sleeps 'til the big one!

Miles last week 72
Longest Ride 36 miles

Total UK pre-etape miles 8,369.


Last post until it's done and dusted, since we're off the La Belle France tomorrow for the long drive to Pau.

The First Time Etappers Tour Bus (well, Ford Galaxy) will be fully laden with bikes, so if you see us on the way to the Pyrenees, don't forget to sound your horn in encouragement. We'll be plenty conspicuous, promise.

The bike is finally cleaned and packed away into the bike bag (and that took some doing this evening), so tomorrow should mostly be a matter of packing, though I suspect I'll be pretty busy in the morning.

Good luck to all fellow competitors, and thanks to all of you for your invaluable encouragement.

Game on! Let's 'ave it!!

Clive,

I don't have your email address and would like to forward the photo I took of you and your team at the start.

Well done for finishing way ahead of the broom wagon, a fantastic achievement.
