Hello - I am afraid George (gvasam7) and I can't make the ride tomorrow. Maybe next year.

Have a good one and hopefully the whether will be fine.

Ta.

Hope you're right about the weather Ian

So do I

I'm hoping for rain, so I can not only watch D1 dealing with the weather but having spent the warmer months trying to prevent my plastic from melting in the sunshine, im excited by the opportunity to look smug for all those elitest buggers on high end tin rusting on the way to Brighton

And you'll be able to check how those carbon clinchers handle fast descents in the wet.....

I thought those plastic bikes dissolved in the rain?

I'm out! I've done enough riding in the rain this year already and really don't fancy it again. Enjoy the ride folks and I look forward to reading the reports and seeing the photos.

I've just had a look at the weather on Metcheck which is predicting light sleet! I'll set the alarm for 5.30 but if I hear the faintest bit of drizzle on the conservatory roof, the alarm is getting turned off and the duvet will be pulled back up around my ears. I don't have mudguards on Lexie so I'm looking out for everyone else, honest

On a scale of 1-10, how popular am I going to be if I rock up without mudguards on? (CAAD10 is 3 months new. Tried to fit Crud RRers, not enough clearance.)

Have guards on my fixed commuter but I doubt I'd manage 60+ miles on it...
