Only 3 weeks to go.....!

Just realised this weekend that it is only 3 weeks to go till we set off!!!!!!!!!!

Training not going so well at the moment. After the encouraging trip to Christchurch I've only managed to fit in a couple of training sessions at weekends, training during the week has gone out the window at the moment, but plan to get that back on course this week. More out of panic after realising that it is not long to go than anything else.

Good news is that I do now have my new bike (hurrah), taking a bit of getting used to but all is good, the bad news now is that I can't use the excuse of the mountain bike for being slow anymore. Will have to think up something new.

Impressed with Andy's 1000 miles, I think I'm on about 600 at the moment which is not too shabby since middle of March, and I'm hoping that means I've brunt of 36,000 calories, although it doesn't feel like it at the moment!
