60 Miles in a midweek day!

A ride down to Cavendish and back ths morning, followed by a hilly ride into Leeds via the Cow and Calf, Otley Chevin and Cookridge.

I had to be home sharpish from work so got the train back. But I went out later with Harry for a 25 mile loop round Barden and Embsay, which includes quite a big climb.

I've paid my final balance to Graham Baxter, and had my number confirmed from the Etape organisers, so there is no going back now!

I'm number 3699 (out of 8,500) which is pretty good as I'm not too far from the front. My friend from Nottingham (Jason le Chat) is in the same group as me so we will be able to start together.

Harry and my other friend Adam are two groups behind in the high 4,000s.

You have drawn excellent numbers. Just wait until you are in the pens early in the morning waiting for the start. Music blaring from loudspeakers. Nothing but a sea of cyclists in front of you, nothing but a sea of cyclists behind you.
