Sorry Si, I don't think I'll make any distant rides anytime soon, work is mental and pennies are thin.

Might be up for this TK, it clashes with a few things but I'll need to work out what I'm doing.

I'll be signing up for it this weekend - it sells out fast, if I don't commit now I'll probably not train enough for it. I'm trying out riser bars on the road bike this weekend - if they feel too odd on the climbs I'll be buying wide drops (48 ish)

just so folk know entrance fee for last years etape was £58 - remember it is Scotland's only fully closed road race.

Free tacks thrown in too :?

Well I've signed and paid for the Etape Caledonia - no going back now. Start line info "macretro" and under 5hrs 30min for anyone that wants to meet up.


payment update £61 entry fee :shock:

This'll probably sellout before I find the dates of a couple of other things at the same time :? Theres a triathlon aorund the same date but unconfirmed that suits me better, if I can find that out and this on the other weekend I'll go for it.

I dont even think the date for this is officially set yet. but it is usually the same weekend as 10 under the ben.

The biggest hassle is having to register the day before the actual event, but I guess that is needed for a 6.45 start.
