Commentator just described bike course. Apparently it's fairly sheltered from the wind until about 60k, then likely to have a tailwind to 110k before turning to come back into the wind - just when you don't need it.
It's rather civilized, watching a chum go through all this while I'm kicking back on the sofa with a glass of something nice. I mean - I do *enjoy* the hustle and bustle of the real thing, but ... my feet are comfy, my nose isn't burnt, my throat isn't hoarse, and my forearms aren't all hurty from leaning on the barriers.
GOOOOOOOO FUNKINATOR!!!!! [rustles home-made pompom - and retrieves a bit of fluffy stuff from wine glass...]

I'm supposed to be watching this from the turbo but seem to have got stuck in the armchair. Will have to get up soon though, potato is nearly baked
It takes me longer than that to get my wetsuit off....

Will shortly be turning to head back into the wind
Not sure I'm going to be able to stay awake long enough to see him off the bike though
And seeing that he's such a speedy chap, he'll be finished and in the beer tent by the time I get up in the morning
Go funkin !!
<whispers> I think he's been training on the quiet
Shocking!!
Get your paw out Ms Leppy the broken bits are coming...
Time for me to hit my pit.
Hope the lack of 120k split is down to technical faults on the tracker rather than mechanical or other problems for Mr Speedy.
GO FUNKIN
