Saffers - think it's all practice for Vit
, even if this has more lumps
So why aren't you attending then? Hmmmm?
You would meet LBC too!
And as my hip is just returning to normal service, I'm not about to feck it all up again.
Shall meet LBC another time.
Saffers. Feel the fear - do it anyway. Think of it as one of your breakthrough training sessions. When you're triumphant at the Vit you'll look back on it and realise Sat 19th Feb was a turning point in your training.
And the weather's improved to 'showers' rather than 'rain'. It's a sign.
I think there is an option on bikely, you may have to search for it. I know you can download routes onto bikely from satnav so I would have thought the option was there to reverse it.
Up Chart lane and down Toys hill, although it may also go back up Toys instead of Yorks as I have had some intel this morning that Yorks is very shitty at the bottom. Which would of course mean the route would be a bit shorter as well... Saffers..!
The weather looks like it's going to be just grand grand... a bit like Flanders in April....
Cold....
Wet...
Windy....
Bluudy miserable...
Bring it on!
See you chaps and chapettes at 9:30 at chez smiffs.
OK...I hate getting cold, I hate getting wet, I hate hills and the last time i rode 54 miles was when I did Outlaw.
Good job the company is good
My shifters died an agonising deaf somewhere in Essex last year.
It was a sad day when I uttered the words "Ergo".
She's a modern girl now!
I'm absolutely gutted but I'm not going to be able to join you all now (i'm not wimping out i promise!!!
)
I have been searching for a place to rent for about a month, and it has been a nightmare, everywhere around here gets snapped up in hours. I have finally got a viewing on a flat (right on the south downs as well so can't believe my luck) but it's 9.45 tomorrow morning. I've got to take the viewing because if not it will just go!
So sorry, and very much look forward to the next outing.
Have fun!!!!!!
Wimping out by any other name
AH...will you pack it in!!!??!!
I would like to say I am looking forward to it but I am not really sure if I am or not. 
Apparently, I have done part of that route on a sportive......but I am useless and cannot remember. I am hoping not to have to walk up a hill as my new cleats and covers have not arrived.
Sorreeee. (But I did
).
But I WIll Be There and I'm really looking forward to seeing people again and meeting others for the first time!
Just looked at my training diary and I haven't been on my bike since 6th November, plus I have put on half a stone since then...
If anyone wants to see me suffer, tomorrow will be the day
Damn, it's sounding tempting now!
You'll still rip our legs off!
This time tomorrow you will be wondering what all the fuss was about!
Anyway, those who are not buckering we are aiming for a 09:30 depart, if anyone still needs an address then message me on here I will check late tonight. Those who have it it is easy to find, if you are coming from the A25 direction then just look for the row of tall Victorian cottages on the right and I am dead opposite, the first bungalow of three. It's easy to find as it looks like the building site that it is

The front should be clear-except for ultra cas' nasty dark green audi- so there is room for a few on there if you park sensibly.
DB - hover over the 'share' tab Bikely.com and a drop down box appears. Move cursor over 'download as .gpx and double click. Save the .gpx somewhere on your PC where you will remember where it is.
Unfortunately, the 705 does not read .gpx so you need to convert it using this software. This will create a .tcx. Convert the .gpx to .tcx and save somehere on your PC where you will remember where it is.
Next, link the 705 to your PC via USB. The Garmin should appear as 'removable disk' in 'my computer'. Find Garmin/Courses folder and drag and drop the .tcx into this folder. Disconnect 705 from PC. Turn on Garmin and go to Training/Courses. A map of the ride should be there.
Alternatively, you could download the route (as a .gpx) to your PC then upload it into either mapmyride.com or biketoaster.com. Once saved in there you can download it as a .tcx to import to the Garmin
Just about managed to find all my cycling stuff...looking forward to it now
see you all tomorrow
