JPenno

Nice Bike Cally when does it arrive?

Basil Brush Mk II

OMG. How much do I love Bon Jovi?!!!!

Sadly the only time I've seen them though was on the One Wild Night Tour in ?2001 I think. It was in the good old days whilst I was still at med school...

Farnie

ooh purdy bike

details please

ImRio

Nice bike!!!

I went to see Bon Jovi in 1989!  How old am I!  (I was married with two kids by then too)

DG

*lurks*

Ironholgs

lurking is very dangerous, it can lead to dangerous things.

Farnie

you can get arrested for lurking,

well I think you can

ImRio

Tell that to my OH!!!

Who has now said that despite protestations he wouldn't mind camping - still I think this time it will be hotel as it is cheaper than buying a tent and all the bits this close to Switzerland!

Farnie

I am sure you could borrow a tent Rio.  And didn't Sprocket mention getting a big daft D of E tent ?

Is anyone on the camping list taking children?

DG

*hides from the lurking police*

ImRio

Thanks Farnie but I am sure we will buy one - after all it wont be the last time it gets used.

I have no children to bring thank goodness.  (Doubles up on the earplug supply!)

  seen them 14 times   1st time when i  was 16 in 1993 and done every tour since (some twice) apart from the one where I  was pregnant and had preterm labour!  I did argue with the consultant that My friend I was going with is a paramedic but he said no   Silly man!!  So a bon jovi sing along it is them  this weekend just gets better and better!  Shame I'll half kill myslef on the tri!!

Sprocket

Yes I might be able to borrow some 2 man tents from hubbys DoE groups.  Failing that we have a 13 man family tent and another 3 2/3man tents too that I don't mind using if anyones stuck 

ImRio

It will be a wild pre tri party!!  It is my birthday weekend too

Basil Brush Mk II

I can see this turning into a right ol' party!!

Basil Brush Mk II

Ooooh my mate Becky has just confirmed she's entered too!

Sprocket

Oooh cool Rio An excuse to make baked goods too

Basil Brush Mk II

Just been reading through the Contemplating an IM threads - hah, I think I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. However it's all very inspirational reading what people have achieved and kinda gives me some reassurance about this event!

Very much looking forwards to baked goods - might have to make some burnt offerings myself

Sprocket

I have 2 very fed up friends at the mo so I've just made them Tiffin with the raisens and healthy things taken out and Malteasers and Marsbars thrown in,  The perfect cheer up food!  I'm now fighting the need to try a bit

Basil Brush Mk II

Why fight, Sprocket? Personally that's one urge I'd be happy to indulge

Sprocket

Lol but i have to shift some weight and I dread to think of the calories!!  I'm sure I've put on another 4 pounds just making it!!!  I'll not fir in my trisuit at the rate and will sink even in the brine!

Farnie -we might all camp (inc boys) if the weather is good... sorry can't bear the thought of young children and canvas in the rain!

My looooovely noooo bike won't be here for a few weeks at least (pesky bike to work scheme)
but I'm very excited... it's got carbon forks and seat post, ultegra throughout and fancy wheels lol!
however I will be "all the gear, no idea" if I don't start doing some serious training!!

Evening lovely folk.

Nice bike Cal !!!

SD how I got over that hill?  With much swearing and very slowly.

Ironholgs

Nam hills are your friend........keep repeating that as you ride up one and you'll appreciate it sooo much more

ImRio

They really don't feel like friends when you are riding over them though.   But I know what you mean Holgs.  I don't have such a fear and dread when I see a hill now.  And what goes up must come down (eventually!) so you do get a nice reward at the end of a hard hill
