5 weeks to go!

Not that I'm counting down or anything!!!
I decided this week that I really should cycle to work. It's a grand total of 3.5 mile round trip so I have no excuses. I did it on Thursday and Friday last week and intend to continue this theme for the next 5 weeks.
Alex and I went out this afternoon for a ride. We've become quite stuck in our ways and what routes we do so I thought I'd shake it up a little bit. We went more towards the Chilterns and that means more hills! We did a grand total of 26.5 miles in approx 2 hours, so not too shabby. I really has become cold recently though, could barely feel my toes when I got home.
This week I've taken Thursday afternoon off work so I can head to Milton Keynes, in the car, to get all my bits and bobs for the challenge. There's not too much I need, but things like a head torch, cap and lightweight tops/shorts are all required. I think that shopping trip will really bring home the fact that we'll be off to Egypt very, very soon!
I think this whole trip is only starting to become a reality now. Despite having read the itinery many times, today it really gave me goosebumps. Everyone has been telling me that I'm mad but I'm now starting to believe them!!
The sponsorship is still open so if you want to add to my total just head to the link below. Thanks xxx
