The excitement is building......

With just eleven clear days left until the start of our Ten Countries in Ten Days ride the excitement is really starting to build up. 
All the months of planning and the Highs & Lows of our training are all about to come together... 
No matter how many of these various cycle challenges I do I can't help but get excited as the start date draws closer for a new ride.... 

The extended 'cycling family' is really starting to get behind us judging by the level of support we are now seeing from donations to our team site . 
We are now starting to get into striking distance of the target we set ourselves as the fund raising goal for this ride.... Lets hope we have a similar level of success with the actual ride itself.... 

Talking about the extended cycling family.... following our article in the latest edition of Cycling Active magazine we have now got Andrew Sykes the author of the book 'Good Vibrations: Crossing Europe on a bike called Reggie' supporting us on our 10in10.

Andrew has posted an article about us on his Cycling Europe website. You can see it HERE .
He will also be retweeting our tweets as we progress on our ride and might be posting further coverage on CyclingEurope.org . 

As I said the extended cycling family is really starting to get behind us on our challenge. It all helps to build the excitement.....

Wow - 10 countries in 10 days! Very ambitious. Good luck to you and the team! Makes my husband's London to Paris ride look very tame.
