Right well, just setting off to Cardiff, full of cold and trepidation. I imagine my Velothon will be a very steady one, conserving what I can for next weekend. I have warned Camlo I won't be riding with her, as our paces are so far apart, but I might actually do just that. We are starting in the same pen, so can hopefully stay together.
Just hope I don't get knocked off by any one of 15k cyclists. There are 1100 in our start pen alone.
Should be interesting, never done anything like this before....wish us luck!

mucho luck to you both
Should be fun!

Rick dont save my ride today, I did in on my Classic as an expeiment and as expected I flew downhill taking minutes out of bridgy instead of the other way around. I thought I stopped before the line so I don't know if it has registred in the league or not.

Yep, I only did 32.88km of 33.03, that's about 150m short by my math

I still got the "you've been challenged and beaten" email! 5 minutes quicker too! Good ride despite the issues with it being your classic trainer

No worries. Just found it there and blocked it from the league listing.

Hi Geoff, hopefully my ride is there now ... if you see it can you approve please? Cheers.

@Whorty I'm not sure if your session is "Handicapped" as you appear to have done it at your normal weight, rather than your Handicap weight of 43.5 Kg, but it's still a very respectable time of 22:55.6!

Could someone, preferably with extensive knowledge in these matters, like AAAC, confirm that McDonalds and Burritos are the foods of champions?

Is this carb loading before the event or during?
