Are we entering the grand condo early ?
Just had email - anyone thinking of doing it ?

I am signed up for the GF if you want a southerner to shelter behind

I was struggling with eating and drinking at the last food stop

Now here are two subjects I am willing to give my expert advice on.....

 

[<Tommy>]

if you want a southerner to shelter behind

If this year is anything to go by then the answer is a definite yes

Some people have no shame !

Just looked at the ToC details for next year.

Seems they are NOT having a Race as such this time, just the Gran Fondo (race in all but name) and the Sportive. The Gran Fondo will be set off in Age Group waves, so we couldn't all start together.

I've registered now, but thought I'd point this out in case people hadn't spotted it and it affected their decision. It will be my last year in the 55-59 Age group

the wind was behind us then ! when the going got tough , the tough buggered off and left me !

Speaking of points. It’s funny the image you have of yourself on a bike compared to reality. Who knew my elbows were so pointy! I see your knees were tucked in like mine. Was your front wheel a bit jittery too?

Yeah I didn't realise how fuggin big I was on the bike.

No I don't really remember having a jittery front wheel this time despite the wind actually

I got caught a couple of times by side winds that shimmied the front wheel a bit. First time I thought I'd got a puncture.

Where does it give you the age catergories Norry?

I guess next year if the stewarding is as bad as this year at the start we could probably all start together and they wouldn’t notice. Or alternatively if we all start separately I can see it sprurring us on for fear of being caught. Can’t see that ending badly...
