B aka Superfly

1. Describe yourself in 3 words:
Pragmatic, straightforward, realist.

2. What motivated you to do this ride?
Amy and Clair suggested it as something cool to aim for this year (Amy has wanted to do this for some time)...and more than a passing need to affirm to myself that I'm not gettin too old for this kind of thing. It's also going to be a really cool trip for the kids - I'm sure that they'll all grow from the experience, and have a cool story to tell when they go back to school after the holidays.

3. What book are you reading now?
The Ghost by Robert Harris

4. What does your training regime look like?
Mostly cycing this year, although normally triathlon in the warmer (?) months, and running through the winter. Have tried to ride at least twice a week with a long one over the weekend, but the mid week ride has slipped by the wayside lately...I didn't get to do much training triathlon wise this year after injuring my back at the start of the year, and only managed the London triathlon over the whole year, so really looking forward to the physical challenge that this offers.

5. Two weeks to go... how do you feel?
Excited, apprehensive but ready to go!
