Tour de Kids 2010 – Here we go (again)

Biting off more than i can chew

Well its too late now.  The training is done and its too late to cram. I feel a bit like I've bitten off a little more than i can chew, but am chewing like mad.

I have been overwhelmed by people’s generosity and easily made my $3,000 target, but still hope to top $5,000 (it was only lowered to 3 because of the GFC).  Thank you to those who’ve sponsored it me, your generosity is quite humbling.

But sponsors or not, please follow this blog (there should be a button on the right somewhere) and I'll try and share some stories and maybe add a little light to your day (as i whinge about mine).

Have i done enough training? Well its trite to say that time will tell, but i think so.  I’m not sure i am as fit as last time, but was very comfortable on my weekend rides, so that has to be a good sign.

Bikes get packed this Thursday morning, and we fly to Melbourne on Friday afternoon.  A couple of house payments on black on Friday night at Crown and then we roll out Saturday morning, returning to Sydney on Friday next week.

Here is the website http://www.tourdekids.org.au/Pages/default.aspx.  And as i sit and type this on Monday night, the first 3 days do look awfully long 180km, 172km and then 176km and i can see that the first thing we do on day 3 is go over a hill we did last Tour call Tawonga Gap – from memory, only about a 4km climb. 

I wont go over the rest of the course now (i’ll be going over it all in due course – boom tish) and you and you can hear about it then perhaps.

I’ll try and send updates from the road and send emails and facebook updates with embedded links.

Bye for now…
