Flower of Scotland




We are flying out today so I have just stripped the bike down to its bare bones. It has to be put into a bike box in order for it to go in the hold of the plane. Fingers crossed it comes back unscathed at the other end.



Well, I guess this is it. There is no turning back now. What waits in store for us in the next couple of weeks remains to be seen. I am feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation of entering the unknown. Without doubt it is going to be quite testing for us at times both mentally and physically but I suppose that we will just have to keep our eye on the ball and remain focused on the bigger picture. If we start thinking in terms of the amount of mileage we have to do each day then it could become intimidating. When it gets to that stage then we have just got to try and stay positive because in the swing of things this is quite possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity.

See you on the other side.

Gravy.
