Set off by car this afternoon by car, taken to Birmingham by my Dad. We're in a Travelodge off the M6, though no thanks to the dodgy postcode we were given to find the place.
I made a huge list of things to bring, and I think I have everything with me that was on it. Trouble is, on a cycling trip I usually leave by bike so I never need to put "cycling shoes" on the list... fortunately there's a Decathlon a couple of junctions down the motorway, just next to Breakfast....
Hi Ewan
ReplyDeleteI admire your honesty about the shoes, good one! Good luck.

Hi Martin
ReplyDeleteAt least it was easy to get a new pair, and I had luckily brought spare cleats.
I've stopped for lunch around where the first day ends.
Hope I can handle the heat tomorrow.
Cheers

Hi Ewan
ReplyDeleteI had to stop and buy waterproof over shoes in Penzance because I set off in a raging storm and got soaked straight away. £36 for two bits of rubber with a logo on them. :(
Enjoy your first day in the saddle propper.
Martin
Thanks!
