It's now 36 hours until Richard leaves; final checks on the bike and trying to get the paniers packed. For information the paniers weigh about 10 kilos so Richard has been having to train with fully loaded bags in preparation. Fundraising is now up to £2000 which is amazing, but the more he can raise the better to combat Parkinsons. I have my list of instructions and b & bs already booked along the way.
The only slight problem is route planning, as you can see in the pic.
Thanks to everyone for their support.
I'll try and keep the blog updated so you can track his progress.

So very near now - very best of luck, we'll keep updated with your progress via Penny's blog. At least you don't have to wear a helmet like Chris Hoy! Hope the rain keeps off for you, love Frances xx
I am hoping for some 'rear view of Lycra shorts' shots.....did I actually just type that out loud??? I have no fears for your map reading Richard - we girls do it that way all the time - and rarely go wrong.....The Joneses are back in the UK from hot Greece and have brought the sunshine with them. Best of luck from all of us -keep whistling and applying that Vaseline.
I hope the first day is going well. Good luck with the rest of the adventure.
Tim
