Welcome to our Blog - 2 days to go!

It's late on Friday evening in the Mentzendorff office and I've realised that there's no turning back now. Rebecca Morrison has masterminded all the logistics behind the trip and Bill Page will once again be behind the steering wheel of our support van which the 8 riders will be following as we begin our long trek south from Calais to the very centre of France on Sunday evening...... Beaune currently seems a very long way away............... the riders have all been training in isolation and so we have very little idea of relative fitness levels and "form"........... although we suspect that Chris Matthews (Team BBR) may now be up to professional standard (he's been very quiet) and Hannah Wiggins was looking frighteningly fit at the London Wine Fair! All will shortly be revealed on the roads of Northern France but we will need to work together as a team if we are to attain our goals. Standby for further updates................... Andrew
