I’m posting this the evening before the ride, although it really belongs to the Glorious 25th of May. Everything’s prepared - bike checked over, clothes laid out, pasta cooked, bottles ready to be filled and approximately 300 energy bars ready to be stuffed into pockets. I’m planning to leave around 5:30/6am, in order to take advantage of the cool

Good luck!

Best of luck, even though you shouldn't need much. You've prepared well and now it's just down to going out there and doing it.

And enjoy the ride!

How exciting after all the training and planning it is here. I will be thinking about you and cheering you on from Perth (wish I could be there). Have fun and be proud of what you've done. Hugs S :)
GO YOU!

I will admit without shame that this made me sob like a lost child. It sounds like your grandfather was a wonderful person, and it's tragic that Alzheimer's robbed him of so much in his final years.

I know your ride is intensely personal, but it is also an inspiration to me and everyone else who has been following your blog and twitter for the past months. Thank you for your determination, perseverance and willingness to turn your passion for your cause into visible change. Enjoy your trip up Ventoux as you rise up, rise up. :)

Best wishes,
