It will be soon

One day before and Pete decides to fit new tyres. Lachlan is going to fit them so we have to go into the Bike Expo at Alexander Gardens to get it done.

All is done. Peter is happy. He gets mates' rates. Good boy, Lachlan.

Get back to the car and Pete's scored a parking ticket! Only $70, so he is still ahead. Lachie saves the day!!

We go home and carbo load on chicken parma sandwiches and subway.

I begin grovelling for donations.

Just so we don't get lost, I've checked out the route that we'll be taking:

We miss the official start/finish line, because we intend to start riding at 4:45 AM so that we will be home mid-afternoon.
