Speaking to a number of people over the last couple of days a number of you ask what will I miss. What do I miss now, and I dont believe this will change... My family. Number one
They are my primary motivating force and as I have mentioned before will carry me through my darkest hour.
Number 2: - Comfort I suspect that the simple pleasure of having a shower or change if kit will be a major issue in my ride. As much as I am happy to 'rough it' I am sure after 4-5 days I will be happy to trade in my race for a shower and a clean bib shorts!!
Fresh food - As part of my job I have been spoilt with fresh fruit and veg and quality ingredients. Swapping that for garage snack food is going to be tough!
Sleep - I love quality sleep and that is not going happen. I will be happy with 5 hours sleep. But that I suspect will be a luxury as we chase the end point.

And did I mention my family...
