Kilometers riden: 0.0.
The only thing that I am missing is a Southern Cross sticker for my bike. I had figured that everyone loves Australians. Some people tell me that this might not be 100% true though, so it might be just as well that I didn't get that sticker.
Oh yeah, the other thing that happened is that I ended up with an extra pair of knicks and a missing pair of bibs. Not so annoying, and might even make things easier when I inevitably get gastro.
I got around to testing the fancy luggage lock I got for my locker on the Tour. It had some picture instructions for how to set the combination. Turns out, it was way too complicated for me. I got to the last step where the hasp was meant to lock down and it just wouldn't go down. I raged out and tried locking it down with a hammer. The inside of the lock was quite interesting.
That is the sort of calm thinking that will minimise fuss and maximise enjoyment. Don't worry, I am not packing a hammer.
Right now, I am 102kg (thanks Pecan Pies), so I should have plenty of fat to chew through and last the distance.
