Yeah, it’s peeing it down.
Bike has no covers on - they said they’d take them off.

Gets wet, gets wet innit.

Just about first.
Gonna be carnage parking later on.

Yeah, I’m dead centre as you come into the tent, second rack Down, at the end.

For both.

@jorgan - split transition. So an awfully long 10 mile / 40 minute :rage: drive to Bolton to do this…

…then showed my wife the way from the station to the bit in the park we pass twice (supporters corner!)

Then some of this :dog2: :hamburger:

All done and home now.
Drinks to make and swim back to pack.

Then relax

Someone in the area has posted on FB “the descent from Sheephouse to the dam is slippy as hell, just seen a cyclist come off on it, it’s bad in the car”

Hopefully it’s not so bad tomorrow

:grimacing:

That’s Bolton, not Horwich :roll_eyes::rofl:

I’ve been down there in the wet, on my Zipp carbon rims, over that grid.

It’s absolutely fine.

It’s other cyclists I’m worried about.

@Doonhamer - that’s weird! That’s the MetOffice app, here’s mine for Bolton…hopefully it’s all come down today :face_with_hand_over_mouth: :rofl:

Fast bit on A666 just been told there making the race go on the other side of the road back into the town?!

Be ready.

Everyone is crapping themselves.

Cattlegrid never bothered me …?!

The descent before it after the green bush … awful.

Eh???

@mungo2 EDIT; So just on the RH side of the road?
Yeah, they were digging up the left hand side the other week when I rode it.

Makes sense now :+1:t3:
