Training Update - Week 18

OK 43 days to go - all very exciting.

A massive(?)232 miles completed this week, including a single ride of 46 miles, where i also managed another first in hitting the fastest speed i have ever done on a bike - 41.3miles per hour! - downhill admittedly and a bit hairy on the sharp right hander at the foot of the hill but great fun! - This weeks mileage/time equates to an average of 17.65 mph which i am quite happy with.

Another clean of the bike undertaken this week and also two Bontrager Race Lite Hard Case tyres bought ready to put on the bike before the big off (supposedly puncture resistant - hmm watch this space).
Still in the market for another cycle jersey and maybe a pair of shorts before i go and will soon be stocking up on energy drinks/gels and energy bars to keep me fully carbed for the duration.

Have booked overnight hotel before the ride and will be arranging train ticket down to the smoke this week. Looking forward to getting it done now.

Paris here we come...............
