I'm well.- Not done much training at in years, but I've just signed up for Stratford mara.-
I'll pop over to the campsite website and sign us in.- Do i need to ask for a specific area ? The TP needs a fair amount of space and we definitely want camp with the pirates.
I don't think it was 7 hours, but I did do some long stints.- cycling out from london was *horrid*.
Beer drinking is definitely most of our plan Then I expect to be about 50/50 thanking my lucky stars I'm not competing-/jealously watching the competitors wishing it were me!
Couldn't believe the number of PSOF's registered. It looks like yellow will be the primary colour!
Bez not used those roads for a year but from experiance off the year before go early if it's a weekend after about 10 or 11ish the roads get buzy. There is a village on and near the course that I've just forgotten the name of (sure someone will say) That is a shoppering type place for people in the nearby cities. if it's a week day not sure how buzy it is.
Bez, assuming you are talking bike and not run, has the bike route been announced yet? I think its meant to be changing? Not sure by how much though, might only be tweaked?
Yawn, Time to wake up, off to the pool in the morning. Start of training, hope to get off the waiting list on on to the list of fools. Mrs drainman has agreed to a Turbo so here we go.
The last newsletter from OSB on Friday mentioned the bike course shouldn't change too much so fancied making one of the long rides a recce of the course.
I've got paranoia issues around getting creamed as a lot of people turn into cocks behind a wheel.

Bez I wouldn't worry about it the route is used by a lot of cyclists throughtout the year anyway, with cycle races or just through training/leasure and you would have to be a conpleate cock to miss what was going on. Route looks right to me to.
Morning all. My name can come off the list....i've decided to withdraw. Heart just not in it this year, so going to concentrate on other things . However, it does mean i'm now free to throw water bottles at you all from the drinks station, hurrah! So there's a silver lining to every cloud!!! Really looking forward to supporting you all actually, it'll be a top day

ip - last year volunteers did not have to reserve nor pay for their camping. There are no specific areas - you just rock up and pitch where you like.
Depending on who arrives when, the pirates flags will be up as a clear indicator of the 'Pirate Encampment'
Hey ip Nice to hear from you!
Well training has ground to a halt here as I've been struck down with the lurgy.
Very annoying.

Morning. No training to report unless you count snot production.
I'm planning a recce of last years course at some point. What's the traffic like as there are a few 'A' roads on there? cheers

Has anyone got a link to the old cycle route at all?
http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/52798454
Can't recall if I made this one up from the part routes that are on Map Me Ride or whether it was on there like this.
Can someone confirm if this looks about right.
Bez
Looks about right to me!
did we win the competition for them pirate buffs???
It doesn't have much more finesse than actually throwing them Lee so best get practicing
Really sorry you've had to withdraw but well done on making a brave decision.
Anyone suggest/recommend a good bento box for Outlaw?
Thanks folks
NV this is a good bento box
p.s. i'll be working on my throwing arm over the next few months.....once i can deadlift 100kg single handedly, I think i'll be ready
Aww LtP
I was hoping for a good chat on the way round as we wended our (merry?) way towards the 17 hours.......
