Not going to come down for the social Geoff? Would be great to meet you?

My phone number guys is 07788160277, and I am making myself available all day Saturday to meet and greet at train station if needed and show you where accommodation is. Similarly if anyone gets lost, give me a bell and I'll put you right.

If the weather is good, fingers crossed, the views up to the 70 mile point are stunning. Wait till you get up on the army ranges, it's like being on top of the world. You also have the pleasure of several downhill miles after that too.

On the Heads of the Valleys road, up in the Brecon Beacons, you also have a 10 mile descent down into Brecon itself....so much good stuff to look forward to!

I'm just trying to keep you all focused on the good stuff....

Just checked the weather. Looks like it's going to be lovely. Really looking forward to this now.

Don't forget to carry out some type of superstitious ritual every time you mention the weather!

Cheers Adam, much appreciated mate. I might get into town as early as 10:30 if I take an early train. Will you be providing an open top bus parade or should I just expect a welcome from the local dignitaries?

Do we have a final list now of who is and who isn't able to make the DD? I'm a bit confused who will be there so is it worth having a quick roll call? I reckon ...

Right, noted Berty, table for 7 now then. Best I can do TT is pick you up in my work van and leave the side door open for you. The sawdust that will vortex out the door will be as close to a ticker tape parade as I can muster I'm afraid.

Do we have to register as a team to start together or will we all go off at the same time anyway?

 

[bobinski]

TT- Knowing our lovely rail companies and network rail and the need to carry out engineering work I am trying to have find out if you (we) will be affected. It's more return journey I am concerned about. Will let you know what I find.

I think we can just group on the morning but I did put team cyclechat on the online entry

I think a lot of times they wait till last minute to release them in case the route changes last minute.

That'll do nicely

Ooo, it means I'll come in the top 100 whatever

I reckon you'll be top 50 on the 95 mile ride There must be at least 30 people doing the 120 and 60 milers
