Meet the support team - part 1

It sounds so simple - get on bikes and ride to Lille - but the closer we get to 28th September, the harder our tour manager Victoria is having to work!  Victoria's an events manager with a wealth of experience that includes sports events.  From negotiating train tickets for the return journey to persuading Tracey from B&Q House's gym to come along and advise on training, she's already busy with planning the challenge.

You may not recognise Victoria on the day we leave as she is also odds on favourite to be donning the Pudsey outfit!

Roy's also pictured here - he is going to be driving our support van - so here he's getting in some practise with heaving bike baggage around.

Roy and Victoria are to be joined by Sarah (as a driver) and Tracey (our challenge's fitness guru).
