Tuesday next week, so the trip is very nearly upon us now. This is a trip that we are making as part of a team of eight. All of the team has contributed to the planning and training and so all are responsible for the success of this trip. The complete team consists of, in alphabetical order:

Andy Loughrie,

Andy Pennell,

Andy Sykes,

Bruce Shepherd,

James Cartmel,

Kevin Eardley,

Paul Codling,

Sarah Leatherbarrow.

All have contributed to the adventure and the fundraising efforts, so all deserve credit. If you haven’t then you still can by clicking on the link http://www.justgiving.com/TeamPolkadotE2ECycleChallenge to support a very worthwhile cause. There is also an official team blog which you may also find interesting – http://teampolkadote2echallenge.blogspot.co.uk – which will be updated by other members of the team as well.

I think we are all feeling both excited and very nervous as the trip is now only a few days away. There is still some last minute planning and organisation to be done (mainly related to checking the routes and confirming where we can stop for lunches) but most things are now done.  Most of us will be trying to rest over the weekend and spend time with family and friends before we go away. Wish us all luck, good weather and a tail wind!
