Sometimes, things conspire against your best plans. Intending for a nice 7.30am start would give me plenty of daylight to complete the 12 hours I expect to ride today.
Packing the bag last night and the zip falls off in my hand...
Shop opens at 8.30, when I'll be able to buy a new bag, go home, re pack, set off.
In the meantime I will mostly be found in Costa, looking angry, planning my revenge on the makers of my bag!!
Probably means a set off time of 9.30/10am and an arrival, in darkness, to the delightful Tuxford, some 12 hours later.
If I double drop a herbalife 'lift off' maybe I can shave 45 minutes off somewhere...?
I have just had a look and the just giving site is now showing £628.50 plus a further £136.88 in Gift Aid. Before I've set foot on a pedal (which, unfortunately reflects my training regime) you lot have raised a fantastic £765.38 that's enough for the British Heart Foundation to buy 3 difibrilators which can be placed in and around the town.
Just writing that is a bit surreal and daunting, no backing out now Garbutt.
Massive thanks and feel free to send messages of support and abuse to keep me entertained along the way.
Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh
Special thank you goes to Emma Campbell-Critchley who has sorted me out with some fantastic Herbalife products to keep me in tip top condition along the way.

Right, lets get this bag, I want to set off!!!
