    I got lost on the run, and did the first loop in something like 10 mins....if only I hadn't inadvertantly taken a short cut, and I really could run 3 min miles :P  Alas.....

    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!!

    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

    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. image

    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...image

    Seren ..... starting to panic ...... "Race"?   image

    Lets just say the course is "undulating".

    If the weekend turns out like the last 2 years event, its going to be ace!! image

    Still loads to do yet.   Just hope the miserable git doesn't rip down the arrow signs like last year. image

  • Options

    I remember most of the course from last year.just wondering about potholes etc after the winter rains...image

     

     I am racing my time from last yearimage

  • Options
    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 holesimage

    Mrs SAMrs SA ✭✭✭

    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. image

    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!

  • Options

    coz there's absolutely no hills in Lanza at all eh? image

    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.)

  • Options

    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.image

    Pudge.i might get in the same lane and see how long i can draft you for image
