Thursday 03 March 2011 (Day 1)

Greenwich to Folkstone.

The start and support coach at Greenwich
A chilly start for the 83 riders setting off for Cannes but mercifully dry, even a little sunshine!

We only had 61 miles before we ran out of England, so today was a bit of a shakedown to get used to how the next five days in France are going to work.

I have to say I do like the motorbike outriders stopping the traffic; sweeping through red lights and roundabouts makes a change from my usual commuter experience – I’ll have to get see about getting a couple.

Feeling pretty good for tomorrow, but notice we have a 5:00am wake up call.  That’s 5:00am French time, so make that 4:00am UK time.  Mad.

    erm...your heart rate hit above 200bpm 5 times and the max you reached was 245bpm...shouldn't you be in hospital?

    I suspect you can ignore the spikes - I'm still here. I figured it might be interference from the support bike radios
