So we're pretty much there. The date is nearly upon us to catch the trains down to Penzance. Are we prepared? Good question, the answer to which will become apparent on about day 2 or 3 when our legs either go on strike, or we find that we can actually keep cycling. From a personal point of view I'm worried about two things. Firstly is my knees which have always been a weak link in my walking ability. I've done my best to work on them, but will be wearing a support on my right knee at least (the weaker of the two). The secon thing i'm worried about - as are the others - is good old Swine Flu! Unfortunately my nearest and dearest has it, so i've been completely unable to do anything other than carry on and hope for the best. Without wishing to tempt fate I actually feel fine - better than fine in fact. But the chances of me carrying it are better than good.
Anyway, enough about worries. We have the stuff we need (we think) and the means to carry it as well as a map - which might be handy - and the budget for a steak dinner each night. We're all as ready as we'll ever be in terms of fitness and I recon that we'll be able to get along fairly well for at least 2 days. After 3 one of us might get thrown from a cliff, but i'm sure we'll carry on regardless.
I think I speak for everyone in saying that we're bloody excited. This will be the trip of a lifetime and the fact that it'll benefit some good causes makes it all the better.
