Well tomorrow the three support vans driven by me, Simon, Beccy, Tony, Alan and Billy will make our way down to Dover before heading over to Paris first thing on Thursday to meet up with the cyclists at the Eiffel Tower.
The last few days have been hectic. We found a few routing issues which had to be rectified including one part of the route that was down a flight of steps over the weekend. Yesterday we had the vans liveried and loaded 500 litres of water onto them Today we loaded all the riders kit into the van, sorted the spares and started to fit the light bars but after doing one we called it a day as we'd been working for nearly 12 hours.
Tomorrow we are expecting three more sets of kit, have the final two light bars to fit and hopefully will have some chargers arrive to power the tracking devices for the live tracking which will be live as we depart at 1200hrs.
Here is a sneak peak of what our vans look like.
I hope to be keeping the blog updated throughout the event (and beyond with my usual blabbering) but obviously this depends on the connectivity available so there may be some shorter updates.
Don't forget to sponsor the riders here.
