I am pretty much ready to go now - apart from the eternal quest for jelly beans (no not the jelly belly variety, I just want the tradition ones). Anyone know when you can get NORMAL jelly babies???

One week from now the group of ladies that you see in the photo will be in Kenya getting fitted for our bikes and having a 5 km warm up ride to make sure everything is working OK. (That means both our legs and the bikes)!

We will be in the final stages of preparation before our 400km ride. The group one ladies started their adventure today - they cycled 99km and the reports that are coming back state that it is VERY hilly and very hot....... so thinking positiviely I am hoping to top up my ridiculous cycling tan and maybe come home with nicely toned thighs....... (can that be achieved in a week - probably only with liposuction but I can live in hope)!
