One week to go

We've now got only one week to go until we set off for the bike ride. Fantastic! Bring it on...

I just glanced at our Save the Children just giving sponsorship page. (http://www.justgiving.com/teams/cc) We've raised £2290 already. This is brilliant. Thanks to everyone who has donated.

I received some details from Martin at Mitsubishi about the vehicle they're lending us. It is a big beast.
The vehicle we have got for you is an L200 Barbarian auto (this should help the driver if they need to cruise alongside you). It has integrated sat nav and bluetooth, so that may come in handy as well. It also has a reversing camera for parking - which comes in handy on such  bug truck. The vehicle will have a plastic load liner and canopy top - you can lock the top (but just beware of the fact that the actual tailgate section doesn't actually lock - so be careful about leaving anything really valuable in the back. It will also have a tow bar and single electrics fitted. The guys have created an additional reg plate to fix to your bike carrier.
Should be fun!
