Factoids 2!

Our time of blister-free backsides and undamaged calf muscles is running out and in less than one week we will be swapping our sofa's for saddle's and heading west. Thus, anxiety may be upon us.

Don't despair, check out these factoids and chill out. (They are in order of amazing to life changing)

During our 10 day cycle ride over 21,000 babies will have been born in the UK. Lovely.

Presuming we will be cycling steadily for 6 hours a day, we will each inhale 116,640 litres of air in 10 days cycling. That's enough to fill 3,800 rubbish bags or 20,000 balloons OR a small hot air balloon between us.

When we reach Land's End we will have lost about 300 litres of sweat between us. The equivalent to two baths full. Two sweaty baths.
