Hi Mzjo
Thanks for a bit more clarification on the reasoning behind the decision.
I suppose for me it's just the frustration of what is a pointless exercise, even if I did get a medical (from my overstretched NHS practice) what does it prove other than at some random point in my life a doctor deemed me fir enough to participate in an event which they would be unlikely to have any idea of the physical effort involved.
It's a bit more than a "couch to 5k" get fit regime.
I will get my own insurance for the trip so should be covered enough to keep the organisers happy (I hope
)
Just need to work out the logistics of getting from the airport to the start location with a bike bag in tow.....any suggestions for Bordeaux airport anyone?
