We've had a chat about it.
He'd really like a definite year which I can't give.
I was hoping for 2014, but the only way that will happen is if I get sponsorship. I'm not entirely keen on that because there is the chance of them pulling out. I'd expect to start the year behind the required average mileage and make up for it in the summer, just as Tommy Godwin did, which may make any sponsors feel edgy. Plus I'm not exactly confident that I would succeed.
When we did chat it did act as a bit of a wake up call to see if I could fund it myself.
I think that 2015 is a possibilty. I was hoping to get the fast bike for this at least started by now but I'm still trying to get some money together for that. I thought I'd at least have a frame or pair of wheels by now, but haven't got either.
After I've done the 24hr and LEL and had some fun getting some miles in (I'm thinking of trying to match Tommy's best week of about 2100 miles in August, among other rides I want to do) I'll look into finding evening work and maybe weekend work to see if I can get some money together. So I'll have a better idea when I see how much cash I can rake in.
My aim is to have all the bikes an equipment ready before 2014.
