Things are getting real now… last minute details are being attended to. The bike is booked for a final service on Monday and I’m officially tapering 🙂
Mentally this has been much more difficult to prepare for than anything I’ve done before. Harder than Ironman! Mainly because of the duration. I’ve never tried a cycling event that lasts a month, covers 3000km and requires such a sustained effort every day (who has???).
The physical challenges of preparation for a cycling only event seems easy by comparison to the mental challenge of getting ready.
I’m pretty sure that my friends are getting TA preparation discussion fatigue!
Hopefully that will all fade away on the sands of Ninety Mile Beach next Saturday.
I’m eagerly anticipating the journey and the opportunity to ride in new places and make new friends.
