It is now just 4 weeks until the Pennine Challenge. I feel in good condition and really ready for the 22 miles of relentless climbs and steep descents. The rest of the team seem in good nick too, if not a little nervous. Speaking of the team, we have added 2 members to the squad. Jim Patterson, who cycled the route last year, will be a runner this time around. Mark Cass, who is a good runner and all round athlete, will also be joining the running element of the team.
So we are now a 12 strong team with 7 runners and 5 cyclists:

I'd like to express my thanks to the bbc.co.uk/tyne website for a nice article on the Pennine Challenge. It can be viewed here.
