On Thursday my Cousin Humphrey and I will begin a three week cycle tour of the Icelandic ring road. Preparation has included:
- Five days coaching and socialising at Henley Royal Regatta.
- Having the kind people at Athlete Service attach some very waterproof looking panniers and a pair of robust tyres, my previous tyres probably weren't up to it having punctured three times in one morning on the Henley towpath.
- Partial reading of a guide book, I stopped after reading the first line on camping: 'Camping in Iceland is for masochists...'
- The asking of advice from wise and experienced cyclists. Avoiding falling into volcanoes was high on the top tips list.
- The purchasing of a plastic bowl and cup but sadly no Spork.
Some stuff, all of which will be soaked by Friday morning.
