Ok after some initial problems I'm all signed up for this years event (waiting on snail mail for number ..ect..ect) so I can now confirm "I'll be there"

I've signed up for the early transport from the priory to seahouses so if anyone taking part has also done this, it would be nice to meet up there.

I'll be checking with the pedestrian tunnel control to see if the tunnel will be open and any lifts / elevators are switched on (only happens if a number of cyclist will be using the tunnel early) so I'll publish them details on here too.

If we can post our numbers to each other we'll know who to look out for or we can arrange a place at seashouses to meet up and cycle as a group

Well training has been going good, but now I better up it abit more

Im signed up too...will be making the attempt on an old Nigel Dean tourace which like me is slightly rusty but is born again ( as the man in the LBS describes those who "have returned to the pedal") after many years of self denial

Yes and im sure there will be lots of people happy to poodle along at walking speed and stop every hour to eat some cake and have a sit down but there will also be lots of people who want to finish it as quick as possible.

Just so long as they dont try and speak to me we wont have a problem. Since i wont be bringing a translator i doubt i will understand these northern types anyway.

And what happens if you need to speak to them "northern types" if you find yourself in a spot of bother?

Might want to change that line though
Velociraptor means "speedy thief"
