If you’re in Wales & need a chain, @Doka would probably recommend popping along to Swansea.

The day before @adam came to buy my bike, I gave it a service, greased and torqued every bolt on the bike, indexing was spot on. Then he ripped it into pieces to shove in the back of Golf. :man_facepalming: :smile:

Spare trainers?
ProPlus?
Nurofen?
Vaseline?

I was chatting with Dave @chickenboy a couple of years ago before Cots. I’d done a similar kit layout that I’d sent to him. The good man immediately picked up on about 2 things that I’d forgotten! :joy:

I don’t think I’ve raced since 2019. Feels like I’ve never done it before :slightly_frowning_face:

Although my bike does have chain, pedals, bars and seat post. #winning

Never used nurofen or pro plus. What am I missing out on?

I’ve got some bodyglide that lives permanently in my wetsuit bag.

Two pairs of trainers will do

Any yeah, I could feel some sort of death stare from @FatPom while I was taking bit after bit off that P3 - he was regretting his choice :rofl: topped off with my eldest announcing he needed a dump so I had to crack out the travel potty - fun times

ETA - I remember driving to Brighton to race around Preston Park. Forgot my friggin bike shoes. And not forgetting the 2020 113 where I drove off with my seat post on my roof and didn’t realise. Had to drive back from Bristol to get the road bike :grin:

I’d steer well clear of ibuprofen etc during a race, think I’d rather DNF, I’m heard nasty things about it!
