Stage 5: Here I come!

Now that was some good news! I am officially a Stage 5 rider. A great £2.3k raised before Gift Aid and £2.8k in total. I am still overwhelmed by the level of support received so far. I know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, with experiences that will never be forgotten. I am soooo excited!! The journey starts in a week and a half and begins with my first trip through T5 @ Heathrow. This weekend is my last opportunity to cycle and intend to get out at least once. Test the knee out too. Hoping the cold water treatment is doing its job. Cold bath after the rides this weekend me thinks. Brrrr! Chapeau to the Stage 2 riders. 14hrs in the saddle for a single day through thunderstorms, hail and serious climbs deserves recognition.... And a large Perroni! Very jealous the first day in Italy saw Claudio Chiapucci join The Slam (3 times on the podium at Le Tour). Wonder if any ex-pro's will join us through Northern France?!
