Ramrod Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Any updates on the weather? I don't know where to look!

River Rat Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Ok so this is how the race of all races is shaping up. Red has teamed up with Shrek and I (Blue) am teamed up with the Wafflemeister. Red and I are chilled but Shrek and Waffle have decided to race each other (something to do with their Dusi2c partnership from last year). If training means anything Red and I are the strongest of each partnership, they start in H and we're in F. It's Shrek and Waffle's first Sani so they know nothing, John Snow. Waffle has an ankle injury and Shrek has just come off antibiotics, Red and I believe that they would do well to finish but the competitive spirit has no bounds. Me thinks that dinner table at Mackenzie will be an interesting place.
26er Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Neither my partner or I have a GPS. our plan is to "follow the crowd". Does anyone think this is totally crazy?we are a late substitute and not really mountain bikers.we have been seeded G in the adventure but are expecting to move up a few groups.We are doing the same...

One guy had a punctured lung from a needling physio session gone bad and the other guy has a hernia in his diaphragm. Talk about die hards... If they beat us, I'm selling my bike.

V12man Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Have a good ride everyone - keep the rubber side under the hairy side....
NixM Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Right bikes are through security , bags checked in. We are now waiting for boarding. Starting to get excited or nervous not sure which. Why didn't I train properly? Anybody got some magic last minute advise for 2 lazy back markers who drink more wine than they ride bikes?

It is very easy to make the daily cut-offs so dont worry about that. Most of all have fun!!!
