Off to France

The entry's for the London to Canterbury prologe were also non transferable, but that didn't stop certain people still doing it in other peoples names

[quote="Richard (Apples)"]Well it's almost upon me . I'm flying out on Saturday for the Etape and I'm getting butterflies already.

My bike is on its way already, in a van, lovingly protected in bubble wrap and pipe insullation.

I spent the last of my pocket money in Butlers yesterday on a new helmet and some gore xennon bib shorts .

I think I've done enough training but it's too late now if I haven't so no point in worrying .

I'll try to get some photos ( maybe even some nice ones for Sean )

Report when I come back . hope to be on the CR on 21st
