I wish it were as simple as that. A little earlier in the year I spent 7 days in ICU with Viral Meningitis. Since then I've just been going from one sickness to the next and it turns out I have some form of post viral syndrome. So I need to eliminate any stress or strenuous exercise for the next long while. It sucks. But if anyone wants an entry to Around the Pot 200, it's yours! BrentCGP, ChrisF, Mamil and 5 others 1 7

That’s pretty crappy and best wishes for a full recovery. Shaping surfboards isn’t a bad way to spend the recovery time Jewbacca 1
DieselnDust Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 I’m riding the 160km does one require lights from the start or is there opportunity to grab spares and lights at a water point and which one?
