When you get to Land's End
We are now less than one month from departure! I am really looking forward to a week off of work and an week on the bike. A little nervous too. Last week my maps arrived from Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency of Great Britain. There is a total of five maps (O/S Travel Maps - Tour). This series of map is perfectly suited to our journey. Not only is the scale "just right" at 1:100,000 but the maps have both regional and national cycle routes indicated. In addition, the maps show locations for pubs, campgrounds, pubs, restaurants, pubs and of course pubs. We will be avoiding busy roads (A roads) and sticking to the back lanes (B roads) for most of the ~500 km journey.
This weekend past, Steve and I went for a shortish training run as Steve was having some knee problems. Too much rugby and karate in his youth! We were both remarking how great it would be to have your knees replaced with proper metal ones and never have to worry about knee pain ever again. If you are active and under 40 without knee pain, don't worry! You will eventually get it and can enjoy the thrills of pill popping and ice blocks for the rest of your life!
