Got to in-laws earlier via Notts to register'n'stuff.

not looking forward to getting up at silly o'clock tomorrow  - see you there

Ultra Saffy

We're registered too. Just got home with a rather impressive goody bag .

See you at the feedstation at 6am.

PSC

anyone know exactly where this feedstation is?    There appear to be about a dozen farms in the immediate area!

Ultra Saffy

There's a photo a couple of pages back of where Little Sister thought it would be when she went to have a look. There's a large layby on the photo. Also, the lady at the registration desk this afternoon said it is near the Gonalston end of the A612.

PSC

Thanks. Well must say that the camp site is a jolly place! Everyones in bed! The bass beat from a party somewhere is a tad irritating as are the local boy racers. Ho hum. 530 alarm call then!

Can't find pirate hq and can't hear Barlos talking/snoring. Then again it's a big site so not surprised.

Bouncing Barlist

We're on the far right about 100 yards in opposite toilet block but against the fence on the other side.

mellifera

morning all! thanks again for getting so early to stand on the side of the road for hours!

PSC

It was fun. A lot of fun. My voice has stopped working though and I've gained a green thermos mug to the itinerary of the van! Anyone claim it. (nicko?). Pm me your addy and I will mail it back or wait until Beachy Mara and I will bring it along. .

Still on route home. Avoid the M1 if anyone is driving this evening. 20 miles of v slow traffic around juncs 12-14 I think.

Ultra Saffy

What a fantastic day and what lovely peeps you all are . I'm still laughing at Barley's megaphone that played the Captain Pugwash theme tune. Where on earth did he get that?

[Deleted User]

Greetings Pirates

Just a quick word from a tritaker racing yesterday

 well done on some sterling supporting

best bike feed station ever - I was in hysterics  knitting club indeed !

and a special mention to the guys by the scoreboard - some great encouragement / banter although I was disappointed that barley wouldnt let me have his can of beer !

cheers guys

dre

[Deleted User]

i'd echo what dr dre said, you guys were great yesterday. can't beat someone shouting arrgghhh at you as you go past, made me laugh every time

Aitch!

Afternoon! I had a crcking time yesterday supporting! Loved doing the bike feed station but man there were some rude motorists at that junction I was marshalling later on!!

Dre that was us by the score board, well me, Ditchy, HH, Becky, Baz, Barley and Bassy for some of it. It was a great spot as we could see people coming both ways. Glad you appreciated it! Makes it worthwhile!

iron fraggle

^^^ had some prize pillocks in cars when I was marshalling too in Southwell - apparently I need to "stick your f'ing bikes f'ing somwehere else'

 lowlights - pillocks as mentioned above; removing a dead pheasant from the road in case anyone bounced over it and came off,  and doing a sliding lunge to pick up a dropped bottle which was in the middle of the road twisting my already b*ggered knee in the process

highlights - loads of thanks smiles and thumbs ups from cyclists (especially the fab "thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks xxxxxxxxx" from Petal as she disappeared round the corner)  huge grin from Melli  and of course Cake stopping for a fag on lap 3.

Shame i couldn't stay around for the run  - had to get back to inlaws and wolf down a roast dinner instead

Ultra Saffy

I had 2 motorists swerve round me at speed so I couldn't stop them before they shot off in the wrong direction .

But there was a very nice lady who came out of her house with a steaming mug of hot coffee for me and the offer of a toilet .

PSOF Setting the standards for Feed Stations  



Well done guys and thank you to all the volunteers for the day


I still have a voice so obviously lager works well as a soother !!

PirateATOM

Well done Meldy for organising Barley. Minor quibble, especially given the less than pleasant responses of some motorists, please can the marshalls be rotated more frequently. Whilst using cars/vans is not possible due to the road closure, a couple of bikes could be an option for next year (assuming we are asked/can provide help again); replacement bikes to junction replacee (yep, made that up) cycles back, repeat. Just a thought.

Thanks for a fun day  and now an old joke, overheard between 2 'top of field' racers on lap 1 on passing rhe drinks station:

What is a Pirates favourite subject at school?

Aaaaaaaghrt

which witch

thank you pirate volunteers - a great lift on the bike course and later on the run. i managed to stay reasonably cheery until the last lap!

Nyarlathotep

Just thought I'd drop in and add my thanks to you all for doing such a great job yesterday. Those of us racing couldn't have done it without you. Loved the signs as well. Did you sell any bikes?

[Deleted User]

had a amazing day thanks to everyone at the bike feed station and the supporters around the run course.  

Nicko. Hdau

Long but excellent day. Ref those twonks that think they can ignore no left or right turn signs, I found standing in the middle of the road helped, but I spose being a bit mental helps too heheheheh

purpletrilady

The pirate support was absolutely awesome. It was like an injection of energy everytime I went past a group of pirates.

Thx so much its made a massive difference

Ultra AJH

Having the target of pirate feed station every lap was brilliant so thank you to all who gave up their time

Support on the run was also fantastic and gave me the impetus I needed to put in a good run....I was too scared someone would see me walking
