here we go then

In three month's time I will be setting off to cycle the length of the Canal du Garonne and the Canal du Midi, in France. This is a journey of approximately 433 kilometres. I am cycling with my friend (TB). My partner (SC) is also coming for the journey. TB and I intend to cycle for 8 days. SC is going to drive the support vehicle and come to meet us each day as we near journey's end. Our daily schedule is not excessive as a) we want to enjoy ourselves, b) we're going in July, c) it's a holiday.

We started training about a month ago. Nothing wrong with ourselves, so far. But our bicycles need a little attention. For example, my back brake is well worn down.

Over the coming weeks I hope to add a few more notes about the journey. And later on include details of the route and a few snaps.

This is my first public blog. In time I'll learn how to improve readability.
