Sarah my riding partner put he gym gainz to good use yesterday and sheared her seat post clamp bolt :rofl: I robbed one off the rear bottle cage till we get to GBurg later.

Sleep has been less than ideal the last few nights for various reasons :expressionless: So the lie in this morning didn’t happen. Now to fart around till 10pm :weary:

10 pm start is a cruel way to start, nothing but tension/nerves all day then a ride through the night to get the sleep deprivation levels up from the off.

Best of luck @Sowler @Matthew_Spooner

Yep, good luck @Sowler and @Matthew_Spooner - I’d not come across this event until you two brought it to my attention. I’ll be dot watching with interest and hoping I don’t start wanting to do it myself one day!:woozy_face:

It’s also pissing down with rain and windy. This is not what I signed up for

1st 2 days weather is looking pretty grim

I’m always amazed at the bonkers things people on here do. :wink:

I’d struggle to ride @Matthew_Spooner 's loaded up bike on the flat, let alone up hills! :roll_eyes:

Hope it all goes well, cheers, Paul. :slight_smile:

Bon voyage! @Matthew_Spooner @Sowler

That’s a lot of saddle time…not sure what else to say!

You’ll both smash it, have a great time (?!!?) you two :grin:

Just seen that Sarah Harris who used to be in my tri club is riding too

I think I’d quite like to do something like this … but at a decent daily mileage and with a B&B each night … and not a competition
