Hi Paul...
Unfortunately I'll be out at sea that week, so my riding will be limited to a stationary bike in the ship's gym.
Anyhow, I hope it goes well for you guys. For anyone else who might be considering this ride, know that it's well worth the effort, with some truly spectacular views and (hours in the saddle aside) not nearly as hard as you might imagine!

>But why on a Wednesday?
'Cos Mark is retired and Paul sets his own hours. And if I sound jealous it's because I am. I've even taken to buying lotto tickets in a vain attempt to finance my dream of quitting work and riding my bike every day.
