Really can't wait, it's not too long now. Good job there are two routes! I'm going to take Ann's favourite energy gel with lots and lots of water. Did you remember to ask your friend about coffee shops for the odd break LOL! You are the best doing faces. I'll should try that one on the market harbough run only there probably won't be enough space as the hills are too tightly packed together..... No Joking, not! See you tomorrow Sarah, Clare and Angie. Donna xx www.justgiving.com/donnacadycuba    Report

Has anyone tried those energy drinks in their camalbaks? I've highlighted the route on a map which I'm going to cut up and laminate so I know where we are.

I do hope the wind doesnt blow too hard along the coast. I have heard from several people that it doesnt do your camelbak any good if you put in anything other than water........however it may do YOU plenty of good. X E    Report

04-25-2008, 17:54 sarah e Joined on 08-21-2006 Nottingham Posts 251 energy drinks I tried the energy drinks (Hi-5)gave me terrible wind, trots, stomach cramps! So I suggest you try them before you go IOW! I struggle to drink enough plain water, so dilute mine with squash....took it to India too and when ran out, tipped in the odd carton of OJ....much better! No wind and camelbak fine!    Report

You can come to IOW because if you don't how will I laugh and tell everyone how stupid I was when I fell off! And you have to come coz if you don't you might not want to and........ Just because we are relying on you. You have two weeks to put the screws back on your saddle and cycle a few miles, it doesn't matter how many miles you do, because we'll be there for you.... So there..... COME! Donna x Ps come on BREATH xxxxxxx www.justgiving.com/donnacadycuba    Report

I had big argument with myself yesterday morning about cycling to work. Part of me was finding every excuse under the sun not to and the tiny bit of me was saying I have to do it. Luckily the tiny bit won, and I know next week I will have exactly the same argument. There is still the choice of doing the shorter ride. Apparently, at the place where it splits off, the shorter route takes you all the way back on a railway path, pretty much completely flat. I think most of us will know when we get to the split which way we want to go. By the way Donna, it's only 8 days! You may also be both sleeping in a half decorated room, hope that's ok.

The local taxi service is also doing a rescue service!! for breakdowns and emergencies so if we find it to much you can dial a ride back to the ferry!!! think im definatley going to do the 55km, really dont think im up to the 100km, also not sure if my cycle trousers are gonna fit either!! actually now booked ticket am much more positive, just need to do some pr work with hubby!!! url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url]    Report

Are you still coming to stay at my house on the Saturday and possibly Sunday night depending on how we feel. Great about the rescue service, if my knee keeps playing up I may need them. Glad you're feeling more positive. Sarah xx www.justgiving.com/sarahmarshallsay    Report
