Putting in the groundwork.

This is a quick note as a diversion from writing the website that accompanies this blog (see menu).

I've been looking at training rides - cyclosportives etc - as a form of training for the end to end.  It's difficult contemplating pain and exercise when you're sat at home with a cup of tea and a homemade, heart-attack inducing slab of Victoria Sponge at your side.  So I decided to avoid guilt and leave that particular aspect of planning to another day when it's a little warmer.

I've now paid for my hubs - but haven't got them.  I expect they'll arrive "manyana".  On Your Bike, London Bridge are still struggling to get all of the parts I ordered in the same place at the same time, but I have faith.  I don't have the frame either.  So in fact, I have none of the essential parts for this ride yet - but I do have time :-)
