I cycled to work on Monday into a stiff wind, felt rubbish when I got there but the trip home was a lot quicker. It's unusual for the wind to be this way round, normally get an assist on the way in. The old, thicker tyres are miserable compared to the slicks. No training Tuesday or Wednesday but cycled and used the gym today.
I watched a YouTube video about 2 lads cycling end to end last night, couldn't sleep after that as it highlighted just how remote some of the route is. I am now worried about my knee failing and running out of food – makes things more interesting. Among other issues they suffered a broken frame – twice (welded up at two separate garages), held a pasta eating competition and swam in the sea at both ends of the country; amazing but very daunting too.
I will try to get a long ride in at the weekend and also test pack my gear. The other thing I have been working on is a route card in as few words as possible to be used in conjunction with the map.
