The icing of the cake...

The hard work reaches it culmination over the next few weeks. I warn you as there will be precious little to write about except miles (or kms if I've been a-swimming). 270 miles on the bike and the first of four 20 hour + weeks to ensure that the Victoria sponge I've been steadily building over the last five months is topped of with whatever is required to get to Kona, after all, a sponge is good but without a tasty topping it always tastes a little dry - I feel this analogy has reached its limits.
On another note I haven't ranted in a while, this week saw a broken rear wheel, a lost helmet (someone in the Brokobank region of Sheffield has a very nice £80 Met lid) and a wetsuit with the beginnings of a tear means it won't just be my glycogen stores which are wiped out by March.
