Check...check...check---this past weekend has seen many an entry and deletion from the ever evolving checklist residing on my computer in preparation for my Tour travels a week from Saturday---dude!
Though my departure is not for another 11 days, the routine each evening after completing my scheduled training session consists of reviewing "the list" for the 2700 and 11th time...'cause I just KNOW I'll forget something halfway over the Atlantic & won't be able to find it in France! :-P But then, I suppose this is part & parcel of the whole adventure and I wouldn't trade it, even for a new bike---well, maybe... :-)
Ok, back to the checklist...11 days & a wake up---check!
