Nice to see some names from the past appearing. I was hoping to see a +½ against a name but perhaps it's past her bed time.
After a late start, it looks like the Tims have a convincing lead. The last shall be first and all that jazz.
Anyway, you'll be getting this by email, but I don't think we'll be seeing much of the moon in the early hours of Saturday, which is a shame, as I was out riding last night and got some nice glimpses of it. It's supposed to be a Hunter's or Blood Moon this month. Hopefully not an omen. Either way, make sure you've got lights to keep you lit, as it will be a bit dark out in the sticks. On the plus side, the cloud cover means it might not be quite as chilly as I thought, so I'm sure some mad fools will still be in shorts even though it will be around 8°-10°. But make sure you do wrap up warm just in case. There shouldn't be any rain, with a light breeze, backing to become a tail wind.
A handy hint from @User10571, is to make sure you check your tyres by deflating them and removing any bits of gravel or glass you see, as often it's those things which over time work their way through the tyre to cause a puncture.
And finally, remember you don't need to lug a kitchen sink's worth of luggage with you but make sure you have enough to drink and snack on - especially if you can't face the thought of an Egg McMuffin at the Stansted Airport McDonalds!
See you at Hyde Park Corner.
