FINAL TRAINING RUN

Matt, James and I did our final training run together yesterday. An 80 miler from Emsworth to Dummer and back in the rain. We met two friends in West Meon, Andy and Paul, who were doing an early morning pub run to recover their cars from the night before. Andy had a new set of TT tyres on his bike - very fast and very likely to puncture. We didn't have any punctures but did get very muddy. Our average speed was just over 15 mph not bad given the gale force south westerly that blew us out to Dummer but slowed us on the return. Biggest challenge of the day was leaving the pub - could be a problem on every one of the nine days of LEJoG.

That's all for the moment - back to the carbo loading!
