The big day has arrived

Dropped Nick off at the airport and met his fellow cyclists.

Elaine handed out everyone's cycling shirts - very smart! Each person has their name on the collar so there is no mistaking who is who! The sponsor logos are emblazoned across chest, back, armpits and sleeves in a variety of colours, they will be easy to spot as the team snake their way across Zambia.

Everybody did their bit by squeezing deflated footballs into their suitcases - these are gifts for the children at the school they go to as part of the charity visit. Lets hope someone has a pump.

We left everyone joining the queue at the check-in desk - many introductions and hand shaking going on.

10 days seems like forever when you're not joining in!
