I am cycling from Nancy to London in May 2012 as part of the Dallaglio Flintoff Cycle Slam. This blog records my progress as I try to get in shape for the big event.

Windsor & back
Train out to Kingston & 40+ mile round trip via Windsor Great Park. Quick spin through Coworth Park hotel including riding across their terrace. Wanted to ride down The Long Walk, but apparently it's not allowed. Don't think HM would have been amused! Mostly dry save for 10 minute deluge on the way to Clapham Jn. Mrs Y wants me to join a cycle club to find some training buddies. Maybe her brother will finally get some wheels & join me on my training regime!

Cotswold weekend
Somewhat akin to a tourist tour of the Cotswolds' finest villages & towns. Northleach, Bourton, The Slaughters, Burford, Bibury & back to the wonderful Barnsley House. A little over 40 miles on Sat, followed by 15 on Sun. Great food, a few beers & a chimney fire on arrival!!

Lewes on a Sunday
Morning ride down to Lewes with Mrs Y. There by midday. It appeared to be the morning after the night before (bonfire night) & a packed train back to London. Seemed a bit of a cop out to turn left in Ditchling & not attack 'The Beacon'. Maybe next time!!
