I just used my Giant TCR and put some tribars on it and had some light Dura Ace wheels.

I recently just got myself an a Specialized Aethos which is great for climbing and will just get some tri bars I suspect, I’m woeful at staying aero tho

dunno if you have somewhere to stay sorted but we camped both times. There’s a big campsite at the crossroads just at the bottom of the lake, that’s super-easy for race day, just ride up. The other time we camped at Camping Les Cascades (pardon my French ) at the foot of Alpe De Huez, that was great for BDO and exploring generally. Both were full of Dutch but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles

Definitely not that organised but will take a look, not sure I’ll convince my girlfriend that camping is a good option though!

Did the Olympic version in2014. Was meant to do the long course event but dropped down. Bearing in mind I was quite run fit at
The time, I personally found the run at altitude really hard; HR absolutely through the roof after taking it quite steady on the swim and bike. Beautiful event though. Would go back to do it again.

Hmm … despite what I said to @Doonhamer about the Ruthin Gravel event being torture for me, I’m still toying with it 
Sit toward the back and have a fun day out …
… or cycle 800m to the local pool and do the triathlon there? It’d be a nice lie in, about an 11am start time and home for lunch 
Canned entering The Roc, as I’ve done nearly naff all in three weeks now

I am up for Outlaw half and maybe Cotswold classic or 113. Could use one of these as a TT smackdown again?

And I thought you were the king of responding to threads distilling the prowess of your 1:00/100m swimming, 40kph riding and 3.30/km running after having not trained for 46 years, and just smoked fags and drunk beer.
Where’s your sense of derring-do gone?!

You should move house or something, give you something to do.

Not sure yet. I like Windsor as it’s close by(even if the course is a bit busy) The Costwold 113 and Classic have always been on my list. As @pacha says, could be a TT smackdown. Do they still do group entries and racking in the same spot?

I am sure we could get a group entry.
