Newnham 60 for me

I'll be mostly flanking the Ridgeway but on road on the skinny tyred machine trying to see if I can ride it faster on road than I did the Ridgeway offroad on the fat tyred springy machine. And stuff like that.
And then on sunday I shall be mostly watching the "CX race in Sir-windun" and supporting the GWR team. And maybe Thurman Merman even though I have no idea what or who Thurman Merman is. But that just adds to fun of it all.

Thurman Merman - I have seen TT's on the 303 before and it looks absolutely terrifying
Do you have earplugs in so you can't hear the traffic or what? How far do you actually ride along there then?

Yes. Yes it is.

The stupid pointy helmets dull a lot of the noise but it is still deafening. This afternoon's is only a 10miler, though I did a 25 on this stretch earlier in the year too. This one's near Yeovil - I think you're nearer the Andover end of things which is generally even busier. I've also done one there too :-). Did a 50mile one last Sunday up on the A417/A419 (Cirencester/Cricklade) which was both very busy (even at 0800) AND very noisy (concrete surface rather than tarmac). Nasty.
And maybe Thurman Merman even though I have no idea what or who Thurman Merman is.
He'll be the guy in the pink/black strip aboard a Columbus X-Wing. Be sure to laugh and point. I reckon it'll be a huge turnout tomorrow. We had well over 60 S/V/W/J'sin Rnd 1 of the Western League last weekend, and tomorrow is a combined Western/Wessex meet. The Lydiard Park races are usually very well populated.
