Cleve's August Post

4 weeks to go! What have I let myself in for?

Training continues however i did lose my motivation a bit last month - no surprise really as i've been training for what seems like forever. A couple of rides with friends have got me back into the swing of things. Holidays & the lovely wet summer have reduced the frequency of rides.

Having faced up to the facts that I can no longer be a fair weather cyclist I went out the other day on one of my usual 30 mile training rides with my friend Sophie, it started to rain as we set off and continued to rain solidly for the remaining nearly 2 hours. I've always wondered what the holes we're for in the bottom of my cycling shoes .... i now know as the water literally poured out!
Haven't been out with the boys for a while, but i'm led to believe they are ready & raring to go - as long as they remember to eat before & during long rides (energy boys!)!

I've got a 95 mile training ride planned for this Friday followed by a 50 mile 1st thing saturday morning, this will be my last big ride although i've got 2 reasonable rides planned for the south of France later this month ...... it'll then be tapering off & preparing for the event.

Want to thank all those who have sponsored us to date and those that will do before,during & after the ride itself.
