I've just found the app (called Ride 100 on iOS) and, despite the reviews, its let me add a number of friends on my favourites. They're all off before me so i'll be able to gauge how reliable it is by the time I get going.

I cant get that app from the store, do you have a link?

I found it in the App Store - but if you're looking on an iPad you have to download the phone version.

Brilliant my sinus' have decided to start playing up with just a few days to go;lot's of steam menthol inhaling for the next few days then,,,,,

On the plus side a new pair of Vittoria Open Paves should be delivered today which will give me time to get them fitted and scrubbed in;then got to decided if I'm going to fit a new Ultegra chain.

They do, they really do. The good news is that I managed to download it yesterday and add a number of friends that are on the list with no problems at all. Didn't crash once.

The nerves have just kicked in ... a whole day earlier than last year ! Obsessively eating peanuts and raisins to take my mind of it and take on a few carbs.

 

[Norry1]

Not many carbs in peanuts

 

[rugby bloke]

In my mind there is !

Is it wise to go for a light 10 mile plod on Saturday while waiting for my lad to finish football training, really excited about Sunday don't want to ginx it.

Big enough to hold a deuter cycling rucksack, so plenty for a change of light clothing, shoes etc

You wouldn't happen to have rough dimensions of your rucksack would you? I've bought a couple of rucksacks from Decathlon and I'm nervous about which one to take!

Some people will be doing the FreeCycle central London sightseeing loop on the Saturday before riding on the Sunday. In case you crock yourself, IIRC you can postpone your place as late as 8pm on Saturday

Any cyclechatters planning to meet either to cheer others on or for a post-ride drink?

I'm excited and terrified in equal measures. It's a good feeling.

Kids and Christmas, springs to mind. Enjoy it what's the worst that can happen. What time are you away at ?

I've done it before anyway so it's stupid to be so apprehensive really but I'm not very good or the fittest I've been. 8.10 which I'm happy with
