The nervous excitement is starting to affect the sleep patterns of Bigman. Normally a solid eight hours a night man, thoughts of day 1 distance of 120 km and day 3 - the Witches Hat serve to make it a restless night.
Following a broken tooth last week, courtesy of kellogs, thanks to an understanding dentist ( who is a keen cyclist but not yet managed to join the posse for an outing) an impromptu surgery visit was on the cards for the morning. There was an opportunity to rise and shine and hit the gym at 7:00 for a bit of loosening up on the step machine followed by 200 sit ups and then a wee 45 min on the bikes. It was amazingly quiet ............ or maybe not so amazing!
A couple of hours work and then it was time for the dentist. With his half his face frozen, dribbling along the high street, there was an opportunity to pick some last minute items like luggage tags and an Ecosse sticker for the bike box.
The paparazzi arrived on schedule to take shots (in the dark) of the Cape Duo in the driveway. One footie fan on the way to the Dunfermline game enquired as he went past what was the big event. He was suitably underwhelmed when the boys advised it was the Cape Epic!
Only two more sleeps to and we are off.
The shopping is almost done and the bike and the bags are all packed.
No begins the search for teh item we have forgotten. At present, we do not know what it is?
