I had planned to do this ride as my must do event for 2010. But Mrs Bianchi has organised to go to Tatton Park flower show on that weekend. So after saying early on that I would ride, I am out. I am a bit down about this, but am planning a LEJOG ride were I can set my own dates. I am planning to do 5 days unsupported. This is less per day than LEL - but I will have to find my own food and sleeping arrangements. So I think this is challenging, but achievable.
Hope to see you all next year some time. I will be riding with my club mates over the winter.
