OK. Terrifyingly enough, it is only 9 full days until we head to Wales to start this ridiculous 3 Peaks By Bike thing. How I wish I had trained more. Or just said no. Or bought a proper bike.

Anyway, it's too late for any of that now. I have bought some mega-padded cycling shorts and loads of creams to rub into various bits and the time is nearly upon us...

First things first, here's the route:
