Rest and recuperation is vital for athletes involved in challenging endurance sports. And so it is important for us too. That's why much of April has been spent not, as you might imagine, out on the bike but instead perusing the internet for places to stay over the nine nights to come.
So, how've we done? Well, as it turns out, rather well I think you'll find.
Our rest and recuperation will be delivered through the following combination.....
One night in a bunkhouse, three nights in a tent, three nights in Travel Inns, one at Pete's mums and one in a chill pod. So that's it then - sorted. We have our beds for the night, sometimes with a warm bath to soothe aching legs and sometimes having to build our accommodation before standing in a shower block rubbing in the Radox.
What's that? Oh, a chill pod? Yes,I thought you might ask..... Well its hard to describe really, its kind of a cylindrical shed with beds and a kitchen and somewhere to sit (which appears to be outside). Comfy? No idea. Dry and warm? Probably. Better than putting a tent up having just ridden 100 miles? What do you think?
Remember, we're raising money for children with life limiting ilnesses. You can help us through our Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/upsidedown.
Anyway, rather than you try and envisage a 'chill pod' from my rather poor 'shed' description here's a picture...
