5 days to go!!

Hi everyone!

This is my first blog on here so hope it matches up to Stevies good work! Well I write this on Monday evening and I have to say today has felt quite strange to me. I woke up thinking how the ride was getting so close and began feeling really nervous. A lot of What if's started coming into my head. What if this wasn't a sucess, what if this happens, what if that happens..... At the end of the day, whatever does happen will happen, there is nothing we can do about that.

We have had another trip to the shops tonight, bought a few more essentials and we think we pretty much have everything. We have tested out the radio's and all is good on that front so communication between the bikes and the van is all good. We are just printing up some small maps so that we can have them in the tank bag.

So what is the plan for Saturday???

We shall be leaving Ricks house on the morning around 7:15am and then heading for the start point at the Humber Bridge country park. I'm not sure what time the cafe opens but we shall be setting off from the big car park next to Mrs B's cafe, we hope to arrive around 8:30 and plan to have a coffee with the people that have made the trip to see us off. At around 9:30 we shall be in position and Jake Wheatley will officially start the ride for us. We shall then see you hopefully 8 days later when we arrive home again!!

If anyone is unsure on how to get to the start point, please get in touch and i will explain how to get there.

We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you on Saturday!!

Rick
