I think is now up to date with correct attendees and t-shirt requests...
Is there a preferred camp site? I'll be up sleeping in my van! Not sure how this will go as I've not been doing a huge amount. In fact I've hardly been out on the bike - bad back, so the ride should be interesting!!

hi siggy.
We we will be camping as well so let us know where you end up booking and we will go to the same place.
This is just in case but if anyone is camping and doesn't have a tent I'm on manchester for the marathon sunday and can try to drop one off at the SA's if they are willing. Don't think anyone will need a tent but have several and feeling bad about missing out on the bacon sandwich's. Oh and as a side note hopefully see some of you kids in manc.
I really very sorry but between injury and family things I can't make this now. I really hope you all have a blast. If owe pennies for anything just let me know. Things just aren't quite working out so far this year!
Thanks all for the t shirt requests I'm going in to see the printers so will also find out what their latest order can be if anyone else wants one etc... Depending on costs I may order an extra one or two...
might have achange of plan.still coming friday but might be without youngest but will have middle son afetr i pick him up from liverpool..........youngest has got a cadet weekend that is more appealing.......
means I might just bring the little tent if its just me and middle son......won't need to bring as much crap
need to start thinking about which bike..do i get my racing bike out of the shed and make sure its fit for use after a winters rest.........or shall i carry on riding my old bike that has taking me through the winter
Cheshire... Plenty of pot holes and generally I manage to find most of them, I've only ridden part of the route in reverse recently and it didn't seem too bad on the whole for holes
I rode a few laps of the course a few weeks back and i didn't come across anything too sinister. There is a bit of a "rough patch" on Pexhill Road, but that is about it.
I've been planned all along to bring my TT bike, as this is what I'm planning on using in Lanza, and I want to treat this as a full dress rehearsal. I just hope that I don't regret it with all this talk of hills and potholes!
Guys this route just got speed bumps on it don’t worry there are a couple of dip’s on the road you will notice on the first lap on the bike if you mark them and get in the right gear for the next time round shouldn’t be any worries. If you want to take in some hills get Q to take you up to the fiddle for a pint after the race.

hi siggy.
We we will be camping as well so let us know where you end up booking and we will go to the same place.
Matt
If you have a caravan, a couple of people stayed at this place last year and gave it great reviews

If you are in tents then a PM to LittleClown who has space would be best, we already have a few camping in our garden
Just adding my T-Shirt request

means I might just bring the little tent if its just me and middle son......won't need to bring as much crap
but its still a week away so anything can happen.
Easier said than done, god knows where I was heading when SA found me on the run
you were going around in circles weren't you.....not the only one though......I got lost at the end of the bike..
and at the beginning of the bike
need to start thinking about which bike..do i get my racing bike out of the shed and make sure its fit for use after a winters rest.........or shall i carry on riding my old bike that has taking me through the winter
what are the roads like up their SA
Steep.
condition.......
I am so up for this race .......
what time are you looking to do the swim in Pudge
Seren ..... starting to panic ...... "Race"?
Lets just say the course is "undulating".
If the weekend turns out like the last 2 years event, its going to be ace!!
Still loads to do yet. Just hope the miserable git doesn't rip down the arrow signs like last year.
I remember most of the course from last year.just wondering about potholes etc after the winter rains...
I am racing my time from last year
I rode a few laps of the course a few weeks back and i didn't come across anything too sinister. There is a bit of a "rough patch" on Pexhill Road, but that is about it.
Fingers crossed for decent weather.
Hoping for around 40 minutes - but we will see!
I've been planned all along to bring my TT bike, as this is what I'm planning on using in Lanza, and I want to treat this as a full dress rehearsal. I just hope that I don't regret it with all this talk of hills and potholes!
coz there's absolutely no hills in Lanza at all eh?
You do realise there are a few hills in Lanzarote?
(And some really bad roads for that matter, there's one stretch that's particularly noted for it.)
Snap!
Guys this route just got speed bumps on it don’t worry there are a couple of dip’s on the road you will notice on the first lap on the bike if you mark them and get in the right gear for the next time round shouldn’t be any worries. If you want to take in some hills get Q to take you up to the fiddle for a pint after the race.
Pudge.i might get in the same lane and see how long i can draft you for
There's hills in Lanza?
Oh shit.
Are you bringing your pull buoy?
I so hope that's not a euphemism
Sorry forgot for a second you've been living in mac that long.
