London-Edinburgh-London 2013: The thread

[Nuncio]

Only after I complete it, or at a push (literally) when I've calculated that I'm near enough that even with a 'fatal' mechanical I can walk to the finish within the allotted time will I consider wearing the 2013 jersey. And if I DNF I'll probably give it away - couldn't bring myself to wear it. This is a personal view - I don't care what other riders do with theirs. I'll wear my 2009 version proudly though, if I can bring myself to smash the glass of the frame.

I framed the Brevet Card, medal and bike dossard (same with PBP'11). Paperchase do a cheap square frame (meant for LP sleeves) that works well.

Jersey gets used all the time now, but on the event I saved it for the last day. Likewise a DNF would have seen me sell it or give it away.

Looks like I'm going to be organising customised printed name badge for riders from ANOTHER PLACE, and the chap that is doing the printing has kindly offered to do one for CC as well. Depending on numbers I anticipate cost of just less than £2 each. Any takers?

Oohh, oohh. Yes please. Now should I go for CC or YACF?

 

[JoeyB]

Yes please...CC

 

[mcshroom]

I'm in!!!

Now just the small matter of riding 1400km

I'm in!!!

Now just the small matter of training to ride 1400km

FTFY


Seriously though - I think it's brilliant that the organisers have managed to cope with the unexpectedly high demand AND still find places for those AUKs who were taken by surprise by the speed of the initial sell-out.
Danial & team .... Take a bow !

How about a third design featuring logos from both sites?
I may get one of each and swap them over at Edinburgh

 

[redflightuk]

Yes please...CC

+1 please.

Or one double sided one? Alternate on each day?

Thinking about this, even though I'm normally more of an incognito sort of person. I'm undecided as to whether CC or yacf.

 

[jefmcg]

I am was a Cc'er first - though bikeforums before that and way back to aus.bicycle in the days before the web - but as an Audaxer, I am a YACFer, lured there last year by Pppete

Wouldn't want to seem disloyal to Cyclechat, so I shall whisper this.....there is a whole sub-board devoted to LEL with already lots of questions posed and answered over on YACF

If I get one of these, I'll probably stick with YACF and my forum name + human name.
But I'm not sure if I really want anything extra to wrangle on the way.

 

[TheDoctor]

I don't see that it's "disloyal" to mention YACF, PpPete
I've been on a few YACF rides and had a thoroughly good time.
Lots of people have dual nationality when it comes to cycling fora, and why not?

No turning back now .
