Have a wonderful time everybody. By this time last year I was just about over the aches and pains. It was fabulous.
Any tips for the day? Things you would have done differently or things you think are a good idea?
Always good to hear it directly from the horse's mouth...(not that I am calling you a horse that is...)
Is anyone else staying at a hotel near the ExCeL?
I'm staying at the Ibis, so if anyone fancies joining me for some carbs and an ale, I'll likely go to the Fox.

My only advice is, on the busy roads, with loads of other cyclists, concentrate fully at all times. Give space, leave space, if you fill a space check first.

Registration is easy, queuing for the bike storage took far longer. I'm not into exhibitions so left quickly.
It was fairly busy, but i went after work, seemed to be full of mamil types.

If they run out of rain jackets at excel, the decathlon at Canada Water was well stocked two days ago. I picked up a budget one for £8 as I wasn't willing to spend too much given I have a nice ond that I'm now just pushing the seams on.

Bike cleaned, chain lubed, tyres checked, puncture kit checked, ready to go.
The wife just collected the numbers from Excel, six trains to get there. SIX FECKIN TRAIN! Why the feck buggering hell do they make folk go all the wat to arse hole end of the feckin world to get the tickets?
I know I may be stating the bloody obvious here, but I going to to say it anyway. If it does rain hard on the day, please be careful at the bottom of the hills where the grit and gravel will gather, and the roads will be slippery after the dry weather.
