Well i have good news i can come out to play next year whoohoooo which also means new bike time which the wife said yes to .
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXRTD80/planet-x-rtd-80-sram-rival-11-hydraulic-disc-road-bike is what im looking at, will book my place for the DD tonight I'll probably sign up for the 121 miles route but if @Whorty bails I can do the same @Add the metropolitan sounds ideal so maybe another for that I've got a tent so either way for me.
Let the training begin

I'm up for the DD biggy anyways, and I am here to help with accomodation enquiries. I am stupidly unfit atm, and have an annoying knee issue. But would never let common sense or a niggly injury prevent me from inflicting further, possibly lasting damage on myself.
The nausea, extreme fatigue and unbelievable pain is now just a distant memory, and I relish the prospect of another torturous and masochistic cycling event.

Great to see you back Adam and getting the guys all fired up for the DD. I'm glad it's a long way off as I don't feel so fit right now and have even put on a couple of kgs. I still remember the pain of my rear end by the end of this years event and I dread having that pain again. Definitely worse than the leg pain and that was bad enough!
Is your training starting tonight at 8pm by any chance?
7:50 warm-up - Spin Round the Block with Liam. Come on. Dig it out and wipe off all the vermin poop.

what distance are we going for ?

I think I'm aiming / psyching myself up to do the 112 miles. I'm hoping it gives me the motivation to get fit over the next few months. If that doesn't work out / the weathers terrible I reserve the right to back peddle all the way to the hotel bar.

 

[berty bassett]

got news for you buster - its 121 thats 9 extra miles to pedal backwards !

 

[Whorty]

what distance are we going for ?

Feels like there might be 2 groups. The brave 121 and the sensible 95 milers! (I know, since when did cycling 95 miles become sensible?!!). I booked 121 (stupid boy that I am) but they say you can change your mind on the day. I believe the first x miles are the same course then the 121 goes one way and the 95 goes off another. I would think most mooses will be in the 95 group

In that case forget it!

 

[berty bassett]

if i can change my mind on the day then 95 it is unless i get carried away and carry on

its done !

Have we settled on a system for joining the handicap race at the correct time now we can't see time elapsed on the screen when waiting to click "no" to join from the start?

Guys really tempted by the DD. Would be great meet the cyclechat crew in the flesh too but just priced a ferry and the cheapest is about 260. If I brought the motorhome its 360.

Not sure I'm that keen to meet you all.

I won't take part tonight. Had a Zwift earlier and legs and HR say time to rest a bit. Will probably watch and give, err, encouragement

Good point Paul.
I think we should just join from the filtered page where we can still see the countdown. Click to join when our allotted time shows on the countdown clock.
