excellent, I shall be aiming to 'ride round in the middle of the pack' and 'get piddled in the pub afterwards'
Jase, you should do the le mans start, with the added bonus of first to the bikes gets free choice of all the bikes !!!

Was there a team option last year?
Posted 8 months ago # -
Nope.
Every man/woman for him/herself.

Ed, ssssssssshhhhh! Some of us aren't built for running you know.
This is great news, makes February so much more bearable.
I'm aiming to improve and hopefully finish third from last this time. Bring on the beer, band and breakfast.
I'll let Louis know as well.

What number is this, 3 or 3.5? Need to get these parameters established early or it will get confusing!
Posted 8 months ago # -
Killed my rear mech last time out, sounds like It could be fun again.
Posted 8 months ago # -
What number is this, 3 or 3.5
I think it is HtN3, which is confusing as it is the 6th HtN and the 4th 2 hour version.
Next year we may start counting backwards or give it a letter or colour suffix. HtN Teal?

Harry, I've got to tell Louis, he's the only person I know I can beat.
We went for an 'Explore the Irwell Valley' ride with him last week.
Sue & I both had compasses, Louis had a GPS and one of those huge watches that tells you what your dogs' middle name is.We still got lost.

I broke a pair of carbon soled shoes on that run-up. And went through two sets of brake pads (and rode with semi slicks as I hadn't left enough time to change them over.)
I'll probably be there again too though

Not to worry, I'm sure there's been the odd pair dropped off at the office in your size since then.

Do what I did and just throw yourself at the ground whenever you need to scrub speed.
