Made it! The tunnels felt much shorter than I expected.

Got the kinesiology tape in the way, and also popped into wilkos to get some trouser clips and a phone holder for my handlebar. Resisted the temptation to pop into Maccy D's, but might not on the way back!

The pair of curves that you draw to show a shape has a hole needs a name. Has anyone given it a name?
