Exactly two weeks to go before we hit the road and we are now tantalisingly close to the £1,500 target we've set for ourselves. Big thanks to our latest sponsors, Garry Poulson, and to Gerry Hill, who handed me a tenner this morning to hit the £1,200 mark.
Please do make a donation, if you haven't done so already. Beating Bowel Cancer do a fantastic job both for patients with the condition, and also in raising awareness among the general public.
The only concern remains the weather. It has been unceasingly wet all week, nay all month. But September can be fine - I've known Newbury Show weekend to be warm and sunny. Trouble is I've also known it to bear an uncanny likeness to the Battle of the Somme, but with cattle. So fingers crossed that this September will be a fine one.
My cunning plan to fit a tall touring screen to the bike to deflect a bit more wind off us looks like being a non-starter - they have to be made to order, which takes two weeks, and I don't really fancy the expense of an MRA Vario Touring Screen, nice though they are. So the bike can stay in bog standard form - it's served us pretty well thus far.
