Blogging's been light recently because I've been preoccupied with final preparations for my cycle across Death Valley.

A week today I'll be flying to California with the team to hook up with our American support crew.

Aside from a few last minute arrangements we're in pretty good shape for the trip.

After months of planning I just want to get on my bike and get going.

If you haven't donated to the project yet, you can do so here.
