Looks a lot of fun Pebble, we stayed in Cymmer when we went down for some mountain biking in January, there's a great pub up in the village that gets lively about 2am. The race is the same weekend as Norseman so won't be around but am down your way the next two weekends for the Dragon Ride and Xterra again. I guess you won't be doing Xterra if you are doing IM France the next day?!
Yep, you are right there Rich, would have liked to have done Xterra again tho, would have used a lighter bike this time, a hardtail would have been a better choice what with all that climbing. The Dragon ride goes about half mile past my house, the climbs I know very well, every time I ride I either go up the Bwlch or the Rhigos so I know them all too well.
A venture into the dark for me as an injury-prone marathon runner having a go at a tri. Looking forward to it, especially as originally from good old Port Talbot. All tips welcome. Currently, swimming around 2 miles a week, cycling around 80 mpw and after 4 months off, have started running agin this past week.
I'll probably do it again, but the numpty one. It's a good atmosphere and maybe we'll have more of a pirate showing this year. These pirates are getting everywhere!
I think I saw somewhere that Han was considering it. Last year quite a lot from Nutty swimming club were there so she had plenty of people to cheer for. I think she may be considering entering a team and doing the run but herself.
I am up for it again, but doing the numpty one again, as I will be back late the night before from 3 days of hard fell running in the Lakes, on a Bob Graham Round recce...
Nutty's swimming is coming along fine, she is actually considering trying a bike but is a bit nervous. She has time, as long as she can find her balance on a bike, to train for the numpty one.
Han, are you running for a team in the Roman Run ? If not how about running for 'Team Pie' ? I am putting the entries together and ideally should post all the forms off together.

Hooray ! Thought this event had bitten the dust.
Yep me too Alex, but luckily its ON
I'll dust my Raleigh Chopper down then !
How'd it go in Bala ?
That's a shame. Still, it's 100m in the bag I guess. Doing this dragon bike ride next week ?
Right, that's entered !
No, not doing the Dragon ride, I'm riding the Welsh 50M TT champs, and supposed to be tapering
I see Pebble.
Nam, the bike is mostly climbing. If you can sit back and churn away you will get round.
Good to know though that what I am doing is OK...luckily live in a hilly part of Devon, so this should help with the cycling.
Alex... I've entered. See you there. Anyone coming down with you like last year?? Nutty? Sue?
Hanneke... You joining me again?
