Fred Whitton virgin here 🙂
I’ll be riding in my club kit (M Steel Cycles), I’m the only one in the club to get a spot on the start line – although if I don’t start and do some serious training they may not let me ride in the team clothing and thus embarrass the club and the shop 😳
I’ll be the typical MAMIL on a bike that is way too good for the rider.
Also, if number ’13’ isn’t unlucky enough I’ve gone and got number ‘1313’ – so bad they numbered it twice. I think I’m going to suffer.
Oh dear 🙁
Please say hello and offer me some encouragement when your passing me, going backwards on the uphill sections. Thank you.
