Preparation is everything

What a relaxing day. A long lie followed by a big cooked breakfast and then reading the papers. Is this what "normal" people do at weekends? I say normal because most people think what I am doing is mad. I enjoyed my rest today but everything I did had a purpose. I've eaten well and made sure I was hydrated properly. I've cleaned and tweaked my bike so hopefully there will be no mechanical problems tomorrow.
My clothes and food is laid out for my 5am start which will be porridge. I am then travelling to Loch Lomond for a 7.30am start with three fellow ATHelite members. 100 miles will take in the region of 7 hours however it may take longer due to the hilly terrain. There have been warnings about ice in the early part of the morning so extra care will be required.
I've also booked in for a 106 mile race the following Sunday around Glencoe. These races are key to my final preparations for Lanzarote. Early to bed tonight.
