Well the time is nearly upon me! 500 miles from the South of Scotland to the North of Scotland.
Not feeling at all ready in terms of fitness, I work offshore and only got home late tuesday after 2 weeks away and only done ten miles on bike since then. Planning a 20 miler tommorow then 50ish on saturday to get me ready.
I should point out I have done a bit of training prior to going offshore for 2 weeks, done about 800 miles this year, which is not bad considering I am away half the time.
The weather is truly apalling in scotland just now, hope it dries up next week.
I decided to do this for charity, and probably not pestered as much folk as I could of for donations, but not done to bady either.
wish me luck folks, will post a report when I complete.
I should point out this will be the furthest I have ever cycled continuosly on successive days, hope my legs have it in me!
Last minute pointers gratefully recieved.
