now to decide what steed and flanel colour to use for this party run…

 

I'll hook onto the back of that flanel train as you lot fly past me.

Without a doubt ..... "I ❤️ Boobies" socks.

 

Rest still to be decided.

 

 

May be tempted to buy a matching  "I ❤️ Boobies" top at the Expo .....

At the 947 there were a few people holding up the I ❤️ boobies boards. When I said "me too guys, me too" they looked very confused.

I got sine stickers with the sleeves I bought last year. My daughter, having just learnt to read, goes "Sis dad, why do you have stickers that say I heart boobies ?"

Agreed 100% with this.

 

I mean I'm no events organizer but I would've tried to get half the E-Prix circuit atleast which is like a 3kms loop or whatever. From the stadium head toward waterfront, left at the circle, down that beach road past the golf course and left again at the 1st traffic light and back to the stadium. 1 lane would've been enough and it would've been quick.

2 weeks to go and the tail wind to the finish is still predicted

 

So EpicRideWeather was using DarkSky for its weather forecasting.

DarkSky was apparently acquired by apply in 2020. As from yesterday EpicRideWeather have switched to getting the weather forecast from Apple Weather. Apprently the data is more accurate, the downside, you can no longer do long term forecasting like this. The furthest I was able to forecast into the future today is Saturday 11 March.

Dude , you should know to not argue with a woman. … even if they re only 9yrsold.

the question will just come back to “Why were YOU even looking there..l” and using the peripheral field of vision excuse doesn’t work lol

See there are about 2500 of us doing the short Argus, wish they could close one lane all the way to top of Llandudno and back on the saturday as the short Argus. 

Best bit of the route and can be a lot more social. Makes it a lot more bang for buck if coming from out of town.

Would be interesting to know how many of the 2500 are peeps who were "stolen" from the long route and how many would not have ridden otherwise. Planning to do the short route as a 2nd lap to ride with my son.
