Thanks Dean. It was only when you put up the flight time that it dawned on me I had actually bought a ticket I could of checked...

Shame the way it’s worked out . Anyone fancy a trip to a little place I’ve heard about called Sitka next year?

Let’s not go in winter though hey?

Instead I'm going to fall on my sword on the Devils Staircase.....

Those two climbs were extremely tough, especially being followed by a car that wouldn't overtake me. I bet you were thinking, how can such a big(fat) lad get up that incline

Good thinking. Going in the winter does have its advantages though mate. The bears being asleep being a good one

I could be tempted by the Double Devil, someone twist my arm...

It’s sponsored by Bianchi. There’s lots of Bianchi’s there. There’s people riding Bianchi’s. There’s people talking about Bianchi’s. You get a Bianchi mug which is ace. It’s basically your homecoming... I’m not sure you need any more arms twisting than that Kip.

But just in case...You get to meet Adam, Carl and Randy who are also 100% ace. You get to cycle one incredible route, organised by the nicest bunch of guys you could hope to meet. And the sense of achievement on completing the course is worth every ounce of effort it takes to peddle round. Time is irrelevant, like all the best rides, it isn’t a race. It’s just the epic experience...

You, not turning up to the start line, is pretty much like Luke Skywalker blowing out the resistance for a night in with beer and pizza... IT IS YOUR DESTINY KIP!


How’s that arm feeling now mate?

Is there a handicap race Tuesday (which session)? I'm asking because I would then rearange my workout plan.

I think /hope so Lars - as long as Geoff's around to confirm handicaps. It will probably be the Stouby Sejet stage again - same as stage 1 of the current chaingang league. Usually starts at 7pm UK time (warmup starting at 6.50pm)plus your handicap time.

Picked up a cold... I was hoping I was just a bit run down through lack of sleep but nah... if this sounds like a pre emptive excuse well it is! . (Still true about the cold though... bleh... )

I’m warming up in the velodrome if anyone fancies joining me and or shouting some abuse in my direction!

I did it last night so legs tired, but planning to be there again tonight with my new Kickr and to mostly make the numbers up. Certainly won't be posting a fast time tonight

You mean repeat only stage 4... again and again and again....

Edit... although too many beers won't help you shift your wifes gear around if asked...
