Ride 100 London Ballot

They are not allowing handbikes so they are excluding anyone who does not have use of their legs, also they are excluding tandems for no apparent reason (other than if you are blind) but there are other reasons someone may have to ride a tandem other than blindness.

May be better to meet up the evening before for a couple of sherberts and a ton of Carbs?

As it's an early start, I was thinking of trying to get a cheap hotel the night before.

I thought there was a separate event for hand bikes, which able bodied folk can not enter. Or have I got that wrong?

I tried the Holiday Inn but you couldn't book car parking.

Well ditto - but I do less over the Xmas and my best bike is fastened to the turbo in an attempt to strenghen my left leg which seems to start aching after about 45-50 miles. Hoping to get outdoors soon now the light mornings have started though

Which Marathon and is that West to East Coast or North to South?

 

[xxmimixx]

I think everyone / most people have a weakness on one side i have it too on my left leg. Cant wait for the weather to improve, this winter seems the longest!
South Downs Marathon
