I might do the same tbh.

Would ease some of the faff with a split transition!

With the M6 toll road :rofl::see_no_evil:

Quite a few people doing this, isn’t there???

I’m #818

Had a less than ideal quiet week or so in the lead up to this.

Last time I touched a bike was 10 days ago!! At least I should be feeling fresh

Back in the lake tonight, couple of days easy riding, little jog and perhaps a swim in Chase water on Saturday

I couldn’t win the argument at home, so I’m out. Good luck to the lads though, my fastest half swim was in that reservoir.

Cheers pal.

I’ve booked some cheap grotty place on the toll road.

Was planning on driving in early doors and getting a shuttle to the lake

Just leave early and drive up on the day.

60% of the time it works all the time.

Did consider it.

Roughly 2hrs 40 mins and ~150 odd miles away

Don’t want to have to do that 4 times over two days.

I’ll take my chances, double lock the door, sleep in my clothes with one eye open

I didn’t realise this was tmw! I’m all over the shop this week.

Best get that app fired up again then. Who else is there… Actually I’ll just scroll up and stop being lazy.

Give them all the full force of your Peacock Power to Purgatory Pain Train.

Ha ha ha - I did a 30 min jog and was utterly soaked :hot_face:

I had planned a mini jog later. Not sure I can be arsed.

The lake was lovely though. Well apart from being a bit brown and murky.

Some faff with a split transition. Quite a bit to remember.

T1 blue bag, middle rack on the left near the front

Bike, middle rack on right second section

T2 bike drop, 6th rack on the right, blue Staffordshire poster on the left

T2 red bag, middle rack on the right near the end.

What could possibly go wrong? :man_shrugging:t2:
