[PaulSecteur]

White area to start, number 8350.

Tick tock, tick tock....

 

[billy1561]

blue for me and my mate, would have prefered an earlier start but hey ho. Hope the weather holds.

 

[fossyant]

Weather is hopeful.

It's a long long drag out from Macc to the turn back near the Welsh border, so hopefully the wind will be good.

 

[PaulSecteur]

Yup, weather is looking good, wind is 6 km/h with blusts up to 21km/h, but that will be a tailwind.

Starting to get cold feet now.

I have done some 20-30 mile rides tht have been nice, averaging about 16mph but all local and flat... Not many hills in the west midlands.

Just been up to barr beacon, the climb did not go well. This Cheshire place, its all flat, init?

Stretched out, the profile looks really flat. But only if the scales 1km vertical

Hills, who said anything about hills

Ok - I've entered my very favourite part of being a cyclist.....

Carb loading started yesterday. Whatever that's supposed to be ... and I'm married to a Dietitian
