All of a sudden, and months after booking up for this challenge, I'm on the way. This is a 5 1/2 hours train ride from Birmingham to Penzance where the group of 13 challengees meet for the first time, and get briefed by Pedal Britain. Tomorrow morning we are transferred to Lands End, about face and then pedal to St Austell and the far tip of Scotland
How do I feel? A bit excited (yes, despite that calm exterior!!), very much looking forward to the next 14 days, but a bit nervous too. Each day's ride is now well within my post-training competence, but 14 successive days is the challenge - legs and posterior beware! - plus the added challenge of a different sort of pedalling on days 3, 5, 7 and 9. But it's a great cause, with long overdue Organ renovation next year, and hopefully that thought will spur me on!!
