Our training weekend was brilliant!!!!
We were a bit nervous as we had no benchmark of our fitness levels or what to expect but... we did REALLY well!!! We kept up with the leaders pretty much the whole way through except when we had staggered starts... and came in joint second on the final day :)
The Cotswolds are beautiful but that first hill was awful!!! I have video footage of it which I'll try and upload. People were dropping like flies on that hill and many decided to walk it but not us... we both stopped just long enough to catch our breath and then we were off again!!!
It was great to meet some of the girls who'll be doing the challenge with us and we had fun with the TV camera's as well...
We're really looking forward to Cuba now having conquered this weekend - we cycled over 80 miles (40-odd each day), didn't ache a bit and we both felt like we could have gone on for longer...
Watch out for some video stills - will try and get some to add to the site and to Flickr as well as the video footage - coming soon
