The Olympics are over and it's time to dust down the bikes.
Two weeks to go before my sister, Jackie (or 'JC') and me pump up our tyres and head off, once again, for the open roads of Europe.
This year we'll take the ferry down to Santander from where we'll pedal our way across northern Spain then follow the Pyrenees all the way to St Chinian in the Languedoc region of France. We'll fly home from Beziers on the Mediterranean. We aim to pedal around eight hundred miles.
I'll report our progress along the way on this blog.
