Practice. Practice. Practice.
There are going to be some long days out on the road and having read several books from those who've undertaken similar journeys, one thing they all suggest is getting plenty of time in the saddle beforehand. As such, I've planned several weekend trips to start getting the mileage and it kicked off with a ride down to the Isle of Wight with a good ol' friend of mine. The views along the coastal roads and high mountain passes were spectacular to see and a bit distracting as we came up on corners a little too fast but we managed to get back unscathed. Each trip is going to be progressively longer with more to see. ==============================
