I always knew that there was only four short weeks between Moonwalk and Amsterdam but this is proving to be the quickest four weeeks of my life!!
I've barely done any cycling since I got back from London - being certain that there was plenty of time... oops! My mistake!
My EHIC card arrived today - I ordered it in a panic on-line on Monday! (Good job they're on the ball!)...
...and I finally got travel insurance sorted out - got that on-line too! Printed my own certificate and everything - isn't technology fab :-)
BUT ... one drama this week! I suddenly realised that I have knobbles and I should be smooth!! Aaarrrggghhh!!!
NOT ME!!! MY TYRES!!
I emailed Rich in a panic having re-read an earlier email and he gives me the advice that I really needed to know ... it is possible to do it on knobbly tyres but it's a whole load easier not to!!!
Noooooooooooooooo! I've not done a massive amount of training but it has ALL been done on knobbly tyres!! Now it looks like I need to pop in to Wheelies and get two new tyres - smooth roadies! Along with three spare inner tubes - just in case!
I've been on ebay too - oh boy that's a dangerous place! I'm now eagerly waiting delivery of a handlebar bag, a gel seat cover (just in case!!), a 'wicking' cycle top AND a set of two fleece towels specially designed for travellers!!!
The best thing is that Ebay had forseen my involvement in these mad fantasties and seen fit to send me an assortment of money off vouchers and percentage discounts to make my purchases fantastic bargains!! WooHoo!
Anyway, back to reality - I'm having my photo taken by the Pocklington Post tomorrow ... watch out for me in next Thursdays edition!!

Brilliant reading Diane. Your Moonwalk achievements and the way you wrote your story had me fighting back tears (I'm at work!!!). You are quite an inspiration. It's quite funny cos I have a list (I didnt know you did), and my list is soooooooooo similar to yours...spooky!
Anyway, fabulous reading and thank you for sharing. Jayne S xx
