Ok, looks like I am go for launch one day next week. Not sure on day yet though.
Excited/nervous/bricking it all at the same time. Probably shouldn’t have read some old threads on here about how brutal it’s going to be to even attempt it in a day. 3 days has proven to be challenging up till now…
Bike is going to be like a mobile tuck shop… with taped on gels, flap jack bars and Soreen over every tube I can tape it to.
Aiming on leaving Winchester about 3am with a little Diablo light to guide me. Was bringing the big Maxx D instead… But other than it allowing me to ride into the night to get to Eastbourne (I bloody hope I’m there before sun down….) I suspect it’s just dead weight after sun up.
I’ll be on same bike as last year, the Jeffsy, same colour helmet (though a new one as the old one had a few too many “tests” carried out on it…) with varying amounts of blood on arms and legs. Say hi/give me a push/resus if you see me.👍
I’m over a stone lighter now than I was in that pic…you won’t notice much difference though as id lost a fair amount of blood by the time that picture was taken so it kind of equals out.
