I'll be on the 20.00 Virgin train from London, arriving in Manchester at 22.07. Will anyone else be on that train?

I'm on a train arriving into Piccadilly at 2235 from Birmingham, a Cross-Country service starting originally from Bournemouth.

Most (if not all) trains through Oxford Road stop again at Piccadilly. While it's not far to cycle, I'd stay on and let the train take the strain.
In other news, I've just put the mud-guards back on my bike.
I can imagine a disapproving eye-brow being raised in Streatham Hill.

Unfortunately my ticket actually says Oxford Road (I missed that when I booked it)

Looking out the window and viewing the weather forecast has confirmed that I'll definitely be bringing the bike with mudguards tomorrow. Although possibly one with some floats might be better................

Schmudguards? You are very brave. I don't possess any! (Well I did buy one once - a big flarey thing that hung from the seatpost and wobbled up and down a lot. 'Teef took one look at it at HPC one Sunday and said "I'd lose that if I were you" So I did - before anyone else could comment or see it, or have it jump from my bicycle in front of them!!) Perhaps my swimming costume will come in useful after all. Maybe a wetsuit would be even better!
And I should probably let you know that my last attempt to do this ride is spooking me a bit - I hope to goodness history doesnt repeat itself. I can remember it like it was yesterday.

Lightning surely won't strike twice.
Do what I do; change down early, change down often.

I hope you are right about Lightning. Also, thanks to ttcycle I have learnt to spin. I span/spun/spinned?? all the way to Whitstable last Friday and so my cycling has completely changed. I just kept my feet moving and although I wasnt particularly fast, up all the hills I went. It's just that psychologically there are two hills from last year that are giving me the heebie-jeebies - and Im not even in the County!! I will start singing a song about Spinning perhaps - any suggestions anyone. How about "the wheels on my bike go round and round" Maybe needs a better tune....!

Looks like you are going to have a heroic ride tonight. I'll be thinking of you. The only comfort I can offer is the satisfaction on arrival is proportional to the challenge accomplished.
And you can dine out on the story for years (or Bingham if you are coming next week!). Good luck my heroes (and especially Mice).

Does look like it may be a bit damp & blowy, but less so than Londonton. It should be interesting.
