How much does a Watt bike cost?

£2,000 I think

Chist! You can buy a real bike for that!

Yep, I certainly won't be buying one - but if you get the chance try it out

I went yesterday, to long to wait for a go.

So don't forget, if anyone is staying in the area and is at a loose end tomorrow evening, I'm going to have a pint and a meal in the Fox, right by the ExCel. Probably about 6:00 or so.

May take you up on that. I'm staying at the Radisson Blu Edwardian, New Providence Wharf which looks about a mile away

Now I'm getting nervous.
Finished cleaning and maintaining the bike last night. Bike is already packed with what I think will be the necessary spares (two spare tubes, pump, pliers, multi tool, additional hex key for the multi tool chain splitter as the one on the multi tool isn't removeable (design fault anyone?!?), spare link, tie wraps and emergency jelly tots). Also my "fuel" turned up from Chain Reaction today so gel'd up and also have the necessary water additive, grain bars, bananas etc..
All my paperwork is in place (for the hotel and for registration) and I have photo id.
Yikes!!!

Get on with you. It will be fab, you will all do great and have loads of memories and things to tell friends and family for months to come.

Enjoy it and have a great time.

Carl, i upset the pro section with what i thought was a funny comment like that last week, please don't start them off again i don't think i can cope with their no humour

 

[Hill Wimp]

Anyone else going to shave their legs specially for this event?

i thought that was a joke

 

[philinmerthyr]

All packed and ready to go. My fundraising page is at £965 and with the money owed from my office, I've met my fundraising target as well. All that's left to do now is enjoy the weekend, oh and ride £100 miles.

Just one point to remember - DON'T FORGET YOUR CHAMOIS CREAM!!!! You'll regret it if you do

 

[aerobrain]

Talking about chamois cream, I always just use Vaseline. Anyone got any advice as to if there's a specific reason not to use Vaseline?

Worked for me so far so certainly won't change for Sunday, just wonder if people had any thoughts on it?

No worries Phil, I know what it's like trying to raise sponsorship. Every little bit helps. Enjoy the day on Sunday.
