We’re driving to Austria next Thursday, so the countdown has definitely begun. Final prep in terms of making sure bikes are fully serviced and functioning smoothly, spares are bought, kit lists are compared and agreed upon, there’s even talk of a supermarket-run to buy the all-important fuel for riding (and road-tripping).
I’ve been in London, Switzerland and Holland either jogging or Boris-biking to maintain some semblance of final training, while Ross has been in Devon battling with last-minute mechanical catastrophes with both bikes, so reduced to quad-mangling singlespeed work to keep up his momentum. It’ll all be fine when we finally get on the road. Or we’ll forget a whole heap of things. Or most likely a combination of the two….
You can still follow us both on Twitter (@chrisgrundberg and @rosslovell), Instagram (@grundbch and @rosslovell) or Strava (athletes/580435 and athletes/1226751).
Can’t wait for next week.
