Part of the adventure of the trip for me is that, until we all arrive in Penzance, I won't know any of the other 24 people who'll be cycling with me. Over the last few weeks, we've been introducing ourselves to the group by email.

| About to head out on a training ride |
At 46 (and three quarters), I'm not quite the youngest of the group - that accolade so far goes to a 35-year-old fella from South Wales. Most of the others are individuals, like me, who are doing this for their own reasons, and because it's on their 'bucket list'. There's a couple who'll be riding a tandem, quite a few blokes on their own or with a friend (not many women have been in touch yet), and even 4 coming over from Canada to do the trip! But they all seem to be quite keen cyclists, and a few have done some long endurance rides before. Looks like I'll be bringing up the rear most days then!
Training so far this week (with 14 weeks to go):
Miles cycled - 20 (In my defence, we've been a bit busier at work this week, and the weather's been awful)
Hours on the turbo trainer - 6
Hours on the rower - 1
Kindle books read (whilst on the trainer) - 2 - Mary Berry's autobiography, and a book about a man who cycled End-to-End in 6 days unsupported.
