Hi,
I am riding this event, which is 3 weeks Sunday (eek!!).
Just thinking through some of the logistics of this - I wonder if any of you guys who may have ridden this before can help out with:
Is the event well signposted - I was going to laminate the little road map that is on the web site just in case but am a little concerned that I may need more detail though do not want to carry the three pages of directions which are also on the website.
I plan on taking my own energy drink powder in little bags to mix up as I get to the feed stations with their water. Has it been known for any of the feed stations to run out of water?
I have a compact chain set (50/34) along with a 12-27 block that gives a good range of gears do you think this will be low enough? - cannot find a larger block and do not really want to change my rear mech to a long cage to accomodate anything bigger.
Where are the best places to spectate? my other half will be in the car and would like to see me a couple of times. Appreciate that Hardnott will be manic so she will stay clear of there but can you recommend anyware else?
Anyway, any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Russ
