Start date delayed

We've had to make a decision to delay the start date.  Both husband and I have had throat infections and a bad cough for a while now, and mine got worse last night.  I need to be 100% for the attempt, so I need to recover first.  Most likely I'll start the attempt at the end of next week.  The weather forecast for the weekend looks rubbish so I'm not too disappointed!

We picked up the infections whilst in France doing La Marmotte.  Now I've got a bit more time I may start a discussion about cycling in extreme heat (that is, don't do it!)
