Usually plenty of room outside the station on the east side or about 300m down Station Rd and left into Kilburn Rd at the far end there is lots of space, both are free. Not difficult to find the station in Oakham, GR857091 for the road outside.Is there any (free) parking close to the start? and a map ref/ postcode if possible please
Oh, I meant that the rides were fine and not marred by excessive displays of cycling prowess, so yes - you and dr_p were fine too!
I think it is better for me to aim to come in on the 08:45 because that allows plenty of time if the train is delayed so an 09:30 start takes the stress out of it for me. I'll be riding from Coventry to Nuneaton to catch the train, and back again afterwards so I won't want to be carrying anything extra with me that I don't want to take on the ride. (Apart from about 20 kgs of surplus body fat, that is!
)Go, dr_pink, go!dr_pink racing in the National 10 mile Time Trial tomorrow, it's quite local at Sawtry and stress levels rising here. Not her distance really, too short and too flat and she is only ranked 30 out of 50 but we shall see. Please think positive thouights

You could well be now!Does she need me to give her a pep talk?
Laughter might help actually
I wouldn't say she was that fat
I know, it's a wonder she can get up hills at all
Sorry, forgot I was banned

I'll just want to refill one of my bottles for the return journey before catching the train back.
Go, dr_pink, go!

No, it was a shocking performance - my slowest ever time on that course - 60-90 seconds down on what I should have been able to do.
Think the 100 wiped me out last week. So typical me to have a bad day on the one occasion that everyone notices!
My good lady is working so i will be home alone with four wonderful daughters pushing my buttons for their amusment ! HEEEEEEEEELP !
