  • I'm kinda used to it with 2 years of TABR but with airlines messing me about my stress levels are high.

  • Logistics is a bigger stress than the race. Just burns time and money.

  • I'm still deciding how many days before Silk Road I fly. I think 5, maybe 6. Stress

    As many as you can - take time to look around, get over jet lag, have little ride up some of the first climb, find a new bike if airline have lost it!

    For indypac I was trying to minimise days away so cut it fine but it was a mistake. Started the ride on no sleep. Another day would have been a big help. Having said that, 5 or 6 is a decent buffer.

    I should probably have got earlier flight to Burgas. Am going on the Wednesday, maybe should have done the Tuesday.
    Get to flat weds lunchtime

    Shopping on thursday, maybe a short ride to test bike
