In numbers...+/-
2400 miles
146000 ft
4000 km
43000 meters
4.2 Everests

The fastest riders will probably make it in 8 or 9 days.
There is a party in a brewery on the 14th day, most will make that.
I'm excited, i'm feeling strong, see you when I get back, to be honest I can't wait to regain some speed and drop some of the distances.

Oh I'm wearing the Addiscombe CC Jersey - allez agreeables
