120 ish. We're expecting a few no shows.

Me and Terrahawk "bagging" a unicyclist last season. We only winged this one so we had to finish him off with the dog.

Cheers fella but there are a few of us out on Saturday. I was going to do that or for a jaunt around Rivi. I might well call in to laugh at you all later in the pub though

I am planning on gracing the event with my presence. I think that in answer to Nezbo's original question, I will be taking part rather than competing.

There is a 10 strength reserve list waiting eagerly to take the places of those who decide they have better things to do on a cold Saturday Morning. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The tarmac bits aren't frozen, so you can get your car to the car park.
There are people out tomorrow doing the rounds of the course, so I'm sure there will an update on the website.

Really looking forward to this. I only have 1 bike and it's full suss so I guess I'll be riding that. Hope it's frozen rather than muddy...
