So, almost off we go, 2012!

Many thanks to all those who have sponsored me, and if you haven't and are reading this, get giving here! 550 miles of coast lie before me, and I am excited and nervous in equal measure. Having failed to secure Google Glasses so that you can all Hangout with me whilst I ride, I will be blogging nightly instead, plus Tweeting and Instagramming down the PCH with the #FFW12 hashtag and they'll be gathering on my Instagrid. I've got a couple of days of acclimatisation to California-ness in San Fran, and then we kick off the ride on the 14th. Allez Fireflies West, for those who suffer we ride!
