Meanredspider - You stay off the A9 altogether then?? Must be another guy - whoever he is, he's out of the saddle going for it all the way up the hill......
Anyhow, I digress, good luck with the Puffer - I've decided to retire this year, but may well come along to spectate for a while on Saturday evening.
Trailrakers were my tyre of choice btw - about the only use they got all year!
I avoid the A9 as much as possible. I do a short dash down the hill to the Tore roundabout but don't do the reverse route as it means sitting in the middle of the road - nearly got wiped out by a BMX X6 overtaking up the hill at the junction!
Cheers. I'm probably over-thinking the whole tyre thing but I know how much difference they make on the roadie. It's a good job I've only had a week to prepare! Thanks for the support.
Well here goes. It's cold and raining just now on site. The gazebos have already blown away once. One destroyed, other repaired 
Now it's just time for eating and drinking beside a wee heater in the team accommodation then some rest before the excitement begins. 11:30 to go. Yippeeee.
:-))
Best of luck o mental mad people, hope it is as good as you want it to be if you want it to be good, or as horrible as you want it to be if you want it to be horrible.
PS bonus points for beating Guy Martin.
Doing some last minute fettling in the shed at the mo 10 miles from puffer ground zero. Glad I'm not in a tent at contin, it's lashing down here 
Just about to give my wellies on flats a go. We have a SUDS pond over the street from us and I've never seen it so full.
Wow - sounds a bit rough outside as I sit in the warm having my breakfast. 25mph NW wind at 6c and raining a fair bit. Hoping our gazebo is ok - we didn't extend the legs yesterday and strapped it down well (plus put it in the lea of the Transit) so it should be ok. Picking up one of my team mates (he only arrived back from Oz on Wednesday - he'll be fine at night!).
Go the Culbokie Cruisers!
You guys are mental. It's January in the Highlands FFS!
Survived and really enjoyed it (in a "glad it's over" kinda way). I have never seen so much mud - real issues with chain suck during the night - but the Trailrakers worked faultlessly. I relaxed into it and enjoyed each lap more. Thanks for the advice.
