Training Update

Training for this trip is now going well. I started slowly and painfully the first few weeks but thanks to the wonders of a high-fibre diet my energy level came back to normal and as of today I have pedalled over 1900 km. and completed 5 rides of greater than 100 km. I also dropped 9 pounds in the process. So with just over 3 weeks to go before the trip my focus is now on maintaining my conditioning, getting the bike and gear ready and psyching myself up for the challenge. This month has had its share of distractions so I also need to try and keep a lower profile.
