I have prepare by pouring white spirit over my canelbak, losing my tyre levers and buying some non matching and possibly inappropriate clothing, including some roadie shoes. But I did buy an energy bar, so that's ok. :-D

Being as my lowest ratio is 26/28 when I am used to 22/32 I was a little worried. Then I spied the 20t ring on a Suntour microdrive chainset I recently required...... Tempted!!

well, i have been working solid for almost the last 2 weeks, combination of day and night shifts, so now it's 2am and i can't sleep coz i was out like a light at 730pm! i am leaving tomorrow around midday as part of my roadtrip before the big event but i haven't packed anything, the bikes i am bringing still need sorting out and i know i'll be going backwards on every hill!!


still looking forward to it though!!

also, i'm bringing my buddy adam along again. so everyone he already knows better watch out, he's a bear hugger!!

Jealous as hell? Me?

Too 'kin right I am - sitting here Friday morning (my only day off this week...) browsing through this thread wondering exactly why I bother working my *rse off the way I do only to have to miss out on all this good craic

Derbyshire is my home county (lots of relatives I haven't seen for years...) and I don't get up enough as it is, but I shall be in a foul mood all weekend knowing what I'm missing out on :evil:

Hope you all have a cracking weekend and I look forward to the 'aftermath' thread...

All the best from a wet and dreary East Sussex
