Final preperations and weigh-in.

So i'm finally up and running with a blog!

I've spent all morning dashing about the house fetching and cramming the last of my things into every little corner of my panniers. I weighed myself before breakfast - slightly concerning as after a week of marathon consumption i'm still only a mere 10 and half stone. Think i lost most of the bulk i'd been storring all summer when i rode back from scotland in august. Fingers crossed i don't vannish on the way to Egypt. I took my resting heart rate too. It's currently at 54 beats per minute. Lance Armstong i am not but that's fairly good.

Right - i'm off to finish my packing. I'm sailing from plymouth tonight at 10pm so need to get pedalling by 3.30pm at the latest.

I'll try not to bore you all with mindless rants over the next few weeks, but i will endeavour to keep you posted on my progress.

Over and out.
