I read about the guy riding it fixed last year - outstanding. Me, I've love to just do it Rich - the randomness appeals greatly. But no chance of anything approaching these guys' race pace. There's a very active thread following the ride on lfgss - well worth tuning in to as there are quite a few known riders, including Frank, in the starting line up.

And, something from Frank already...because the rest of the LFGSS crew are investing in ales, it seems!

I guess starting the race in Belgium was always going to be a bit risky.

I'm safe from temptation: train stuck at St P due to plastic in the overhead wires at Ebsfleet. Alrerady 45 mins late :-(

And the name of rider 180 is interesting...if it is the same one/family...different horse power though.

I wondered that too , knew the name from Mrs C horsey exploits. Hope it is will be watching with interest.

Good luck Frank. I was hoping to to see them off but the guy who is selling the Optima Baron in Belgium is on holiday until next weekend, so I will be travelling down then.

Don't think you are alone though Frank. We will all be dot watching. Even in the darkest hours.

Found this having struggled to find anything on the official site. I assume it is the official tracking partner.
