Re: Re:

How seriously are we taking this ?

Am I going to get shouted at for not completing a sub hour lap ?

I have never completed a sub hour lap. I might have done last year until the bike I was riding, a certain black 92 Explosif tried to kill me on one of the downhills by refusing to brake at the rear and then eating the pads.............

No pressure then.

My view is that the ten man teams are there for the event experience. Less in a team than that means we ten man men can look on in respect and admiration as the cramps set in, the sleep deprivation causes errors and thrown bikes, team tantrums and ashen faces.

Re:

I threw the Kona in the skip at the local recycling centre at the weekend it proved too much for me

I awoke this morning and it was back in the shed :twisted:

It looked a little cloudy but dry the last time I looked at the long-term forecast.

I shall be riding with modern tyres, just unsure which brand/spec.

I have a couple of spare ones around my waist.

But seriously. You should bring at least two.
