It’s the day after tomorrow? WHAT!

And all of a sudden, it was here- I don’t know if I should be excited or scared!

The ride, this end of the weekend, looks brilliant. We have some great twists and features, and the route is great. I spent five hours marking out the D route today from Bishops Tawton to Bovey Tracey; I had forgotten what a challenge it is going to be! In all the organizing and lost sleep, I have just remembered- with a jolt- I myself am riding the 65 miles on Sunday.

Training has gone a bit too well- I have kept it very light and simple, with a couple 40 mile ride thrown in, and I do feel very strong; my cadence is off the scale! Yes there are questions about if I can ride for that length of time, but this year, I really am going to chat, ride, and have fun.

There are a couple things that I wish I could have made happen for Sunday, but that will come for next year. Ah next year. Such big ideas….

On behalf of myself (Simon), Mark, Sean, Mike, Ian and now Emma, we really do hope that love Sunday as much as we think you will, and look forwards to seeing you there!
