Seems like a well trodden path amongst bkoolers!
We start in Las Vegas. Well I was already there staying with a friend. The missus flew over, took an instant dislike to vegas, so we flew to LA. Did Disney, universal studios and had a look around. Then hired an RV and drove up the west coast to the Canadian boarder through Washington state. Then back down again. Unbelievable trip, very little planning... You could spend an entire holiday in a national park. In fact I'd love to take the family over to Yellowstone. Highlight for me was Grand Canyon. Jaw dropping is the word.
Very envious GW as we seem to have gone in different diraections. my last 2 family holidays have been all inclusives...

@Whorty - Some tubes have removable valve cores, where you can unscrew the core of the valve (perhaps to put sealant in). If it is removable, there will be a little a line across the valve half way down and a flat bit where you can fit a valve spanner (or use needle nose pliers) to unscrew it. If your spare tube also has a removable valve core, you could swap the core over without having to change the tube, but it would deflate the tyre as soon as you unscrewed the core.
Thanks Geoff, I'll take a look.

Ok that's SC3 completed, almost forgot what I'd just done 
, I had to check. The worst of all ride types for me. Long, low gradient up slopes and long low gradient downhills, both of which require good power for me to get going. With a couple of 4-6% hills (where my classic peaks in resistance for my weight).
Didn't quite make it under the hour, but I will not be returning to that one any time soon
. Currently in position 47 for the stage, page 1.

Me too! Yeah, tough stage that one - first time for a while I've done uphills on bkool!Ok that's SC3 completed, almost forgot what I'd just done

Glad not just me who suffered on that one. A real leg zapper!

At 10am, 5pm or 7pm? I guess I'll double the dosis tomorrow, if it's as hard as you all say. Doesn't look too bad on the profile?
