• Preparation checklist:

    Don't drink too much the night before - fail
    Get a new cog for more spinning less grinding - fail
    Stock up on performance gels and energy bars - fail (unless you count Sainsburys "all butter shortbread rounds")
    Sort our some storage on the bike so I don't have to carry the full load in a rucksack - fail
    Have a long lie in - WIN!

    I've never ever been more ready for anything, ever, in my life before, ever!

    May try and join up with the group meeting at Highbury Corner as it's more or less on my way, depends on what time the friend I'm riding with wants to depart so if I'm not there don't wait. (I'll be on a black SE Lager)
