Practice

It's not only physically that one has to prepare for a long bike ride, it's a mental battle too. It's only sensible to acclimatise. With that in mind I have just had a crepe at a pavement cafe basking in the sunshine and reading. I seem to be managing quite well.

Ferry booked today, trains to book tomorrow. Then all I need is an overnight bed in Portsmouth and the holiday is sorted!

France, here I come!

Very over excited...might go and buy some flip-flops.
