my last training day

As I sat inside today it was more like a scene from Hound of the Baskervilles . The sea mist had blown in and on top of this it had rained most of the day. I thought to myself, I hope it is not like this next week as I set out on my 100 mile journey from Crediton to Bath. I seem to have a knack of setting out on a journey on a wet day. Last  year in June there had been weeks of dry weather till the day I actually got on my bike and the heavens opened. Tomorrow sees my last actual training walk before the real thing on Monday. The weather is set fair so  I am looking forward to having  some "thinking" time about the week ahead before meeting Alison for lunch ( and a lift home from The Blue Ball at Sidford). If my feet hold up next week everything should be fine and just think of the new places I am going to see. Its very  exciting  to be on the road again.
