Less than 24 hrs to departure !

Hello all you lovely lovely supporters ! its now less than 24hrs to go and all the months of planning finally comes together. From funding the trike to setting the route to the destination. The van is now wearing the fantastic livery which gives the whole enterprise a massive sense of professionalism. Brilliant graphics which capture the spirit of Nicks fund raising endeavour. Here is a couple of snaps showing Nick and I checking out the important layby relaxing chairs with can holders.

Look forward to sharing a coffee and sticky bun and perhaps a beer or two at the end of the day with all the support cyclists, friends and sponsors. Just in case you need the link :-

The attached picture is of Nick on his 3 wheeled chariot out on a training ride. One of the concerns we have had was the security of the Trike overnight and if you hadn't seen the news today a mechanics van of racing bikes were stolen from outside the team hotel. Actually the good news was other competitors stepped in and gave them some spare bikes but we would not have the same luxury as Nicks Trike which is a very rare beastie.
