Coming, ready or not!

I made it out this weekend, albeit 50 miles only on Sunday with the Evesham Wheelers. Nice little route up Stanway and good to see that the road had been re-tarmac'ed in the last couple of weeks. Made the descent immediately afterwards into village of Ford less intimidating. Great views too. Thankful it was dry, always good on Bank Holiday weekend! Felt good to be in the saddle again having not ridden for 3 weeks and most importantly no major reaction from my knee. I did give the cold bath treatment...15 mins bbbrrrrr!! Think I may have to be doing more of that madness next week. Yes next week! Wow it has come round quickly. This time next week I will be in Nancy with a lot of other excited Stage 5 slammers, contemplating the 103 miles that follow the following morning! Pedals taken off bike ready for transportation, clothes on spare bed ready for packing and just 4 days to work (albeit with a lot to pack in those 4 days)! Less than £200 to break the £3,000 sponsorship (incl Gift Aid) and it's proving ever illusive. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RobertNewrick to help some great causes. Can't wait to tell you about the next bike ride I have..... :)
