Under the sea?



No, we're not cycling along the ocean floor - once we get to Dover we're getting the ferry to Dunquerke. We booked the ferry tickets and the flights last week so it's all starting to seem more real. It's all about hours in the saddle,so we're using our commute to work to start our training. Think of us on these cold, winter mornings, arriving at the office in lycra shorts with the padded bum and faces like beetroots - well, Andrea's is anyway.

We're loving maps




We've got loads of maps for the trip. There are 5 for Germany alone! We're planning each leg of the route for each day so that we cycle around 60 miles per day and can arrive at a B&B at the end of it. But google maps have made it easier - allowing us to check distance and locate B&Bs in one foul swooooop
