I'm not, but spookily, at the very same moment that I entered this thread Bob Marley & The Wailers came on Vintage TV singing Exodus!

[QUOTE 4417927, member: 76"]Anyone out on Saturday night? For the last couple of years I haven't been doing the tea stop, so have been riding. Looking forward to some decent weather overnight on Saturday

Have you seen these forecast? Now I know why we're swapping clear skies for dark clouds.

That was a crazy night out, I remember the rain going horizontally across my light beam .
I was wearing woolen gloves, when I took them off, my hands were pure white as if I'd been in the bath for days. It took a couple of days for my hands to recover. I remember it being a proper battle, credit to your boy getting through it.
I really look forward to this every year.
Best of luck.

I'm near Taunton, and the Met Office have issued a warning for strong winds on Saturday. Hopefully the forecast will change by the weekend but if not, I hope it's a tailwind for you all.

[QUOTE 4421413, member: 76"]Hi just got in, so missed your earlier post. I have to admit, my Luddite tendencies have led me to print it out and laminate it at work

I did that the first year but my eyes weren't great in the dark so it was a real effort to read the card, I reckon a3 size would be about right

I intended to and had registered, but both ankles a bit swollen since LEL (finishing Thursday night). I think the riders will have had/be having superb conditions: light or no wind, mild temperatures and a full moon. It's lovely seaside weather here (at 7.30am) - I may roll down to the finish cafe on the seafront to see a few there. Hope you enjoyed yourself, in good company.

It was a great ride. I believe 270 entrants and 249 starters and 5836 full English breakfasts served by the sea.
I introduced my friend to the world of longer rides so we took our time and enjoyed ourselves. No speed indeed on his Thorn Sterling, but he was comfy and had a good ride.
Proper fat rain coming down Cheddar Gorge so I stayed cold for a while but the mist across the levels was beautiful. Minimum temperature of 5'c Max 17'c which over the night averaged out to 7'c. I don't think I was the only one under dressed.
High Ham was feeling spikey but I really got into a groove getting up the Blackdown Hills.
The tea stops and especially the hot food stop completely broke any Audax comforts. It was genuine 5 star stuff. The volunteers should take a huge clap.
Glad I got the bus/trailer back home. Thanks Chris & Jase.
Thank you Dave Atkinson for a great event. You did yourself proud.
