Less Than a Week to Go!!

Had a pleasant if very windy 21 mile warm up ride today. Over 109 mile covered in the last 5 days and the legs feel OK for an old chap! I learnt this week about the need to pace myself  and just take my time, drink plenty and conserve energy. Not much to see this morning on my ride, except an escaped cow that I treated with caution as he "mooed" at me! Plenty of new road kill creatures including foxes and badgers who have not mastered their "green cross code". I am starting to sort out what items to take on the journey  and hope they will all fit in my saddle bag. Fortunately I have my expect packer in Alison on the case and what will not fit in is left behind! I am also posting  materials onto Wick in Scotland for packing my bike when I fly home. Two more training rides and then I'm off too Lands End, it a bit scary!!
