After almost 40 years of cycle-touring and travel, pre-tour jitters should not occur. But they have.
The list is checked. I have packed and re packed. Family arrangements are sorted. Bills are paid. Tour colleagues have been in contact.
There is nothing to worry about. Family and friends are ok. The dog is fine. Work is good.

There is an approximate route. The weather forecast is good enough.

So why am I slightly anxious? May it is because heading out the front gate on a loaded bike not knowing exactly where I am going, nor when or how I will return is slightly disconcerting.
Well I was until the cockatoos arrived. They are always a good reminder. Never take life too seriously. It’s just a bike tour. And it starts early tomorrow.
