It is confirmed that Eric, our 15 year old nephew, will be joining us in part of our adventure this summer. Eric rode with us, or maybe I should say "led us", in our training rides in the summer of 2009. Young legs never seemed to get tired. Oh to be so lucky! Eric will ride with us for a couple of months on his summer holidays. Some holidays!!!! His fluency in French should be invaluable since our skills in our other "official language" are lacking. High School French was a long time ago.
We also will be glad to be joined by Sue's brother, Neil, for a week in the summer. Neil has become quite an accomplished "road rider" in the past few years. His idea of fun is to go out for a 60 to 100km bike ride after work. Should be fun to test his stamina on a "fully loaded" touring bicycle.
Training is "going". That is about all you can say about daily rides on turbo-trainers. Oh to live in a warmer climate!
70 days and counting....
