I'm still at work, but this afternoon we'll get our clothes ready and pack our helmets, gloves, shoes, mix energy drinks and pin on our race numbers so we'll be ready to roll tomorrow morning without any delays. Tonight the whole extended family of mad cyclists will have a boisterous pasta dinner together. As always, we will try not to drink too much wine, but not be very successful. We'll also try to go to bed early because we have to be up at about 4.30 am to be ready for our start, but we tend to fail at that too. We still get excited after doing it many a time.

Remember now. 47kms only. One bottle required. In the down tube.

 

Like a boss!!!

 

You could also remove the left shifter to save weight. Big blade only.

Be careful, I suggested something similar a while back and got reprimanded for being elitist and not taking oversized and undertrained people into account! :ph34r:

Can someone please help. That sticker that is supposed to go on the brake cable blew of whilst driving home this afternoon. What is it for? Do I need it and can I get a new one?

Why didnt you ride after it ? :devil:

 

There is an info tent at the start....check out your start map for its location - they will surely be able to assist. Perhaps take the togbag one with just in case.

In the event of you being 'separated' from your bike, it can be ID'ed and returned to you.

Thinking of riding down the M3 to the start. Before the first group! Have the choice of ingoing and outgoing sides. Anyone done this before?

Don't. You'll be on the official route. Closed to traffic. That includes you on the way to the start.

 

It's also never been done before cos it is normally the route that ALL people from the s subs use to get in. Plus you're not allowed to cycle on the M3.

Eish. I think you just caught them on a bad day. Upsized and slow hubbers aren't usually so touchy.

 

Like, I'm save today cause we're all in good spirits. Big day tomorrow. Hehehe.

Ok. But I think you'll find quite a few people riding on the M3 tomorrow.
