So when can we start discussing the weather? Still too early?

Possibly a bit early, but there are lots of other topics to bring up and argue about:

Start order, seeding, team cars and bottles, teams drafting each other, Neutral zone tactics etc

[DieselnDust]

Well it’s three weeks to go so the weather is appropriate. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful but hot day

Based on the shrapnel they left on the road yesterday I suspect there is going to be some restructuring going on over at the PS club house.

Doesn't look like training to me, lazy buggers

[ChrisF]

Based on their team talk this may well be one of the slower teams.

 

Eyeopener to see what it takes to get a new team going ....

 

 

Sure, it must be hard work for those working towards a sub.6 ..... just a different set of hard work to coach a young team to the planning and dynamics of such a long race.

 

 

Respect to one and all that line up at the start.

 

May it be a good day in the saddle 👍

They look very slow, I bet the sweeper vehicle will pull them out the race.

I assume you're also riding, looking forward to seeing you on the road. What time are you aiming for @ChrisF?

Nope ... sadly not, way past my sell by date 😋

 

I have friends that do these longer races.  

 

2019 we drove up to take photos and helped riders with technical issues.

 

I stand in awe of these riders

My wife is looking for a mixed or ladies team if anyone knows of a team looking for a rider. Probably a 6:30 to 7 hours pace.
