I dont really want to change the start at this late stage so we will keep it as it is. 8.30 at the lake.

Tyres topped-up, chain cleaned, Garmin charging, batteries for light charged/charging, cereal bars, fig rolls & wine gums acquired, weather is looking good...

It's all coming together nicely

Just need to figure out clothing strategy. Verging towards 3/4 bibs and SS jersey with armwarmers and a ss base layer. Lightweight jacket rolled up in back pocket.

Don't need any parts but wouldn't mind a carbon Roubaix if you can fit it in :-)I hope my bike doesn't read this and get offended.

It was all going so well... I'm there on the train platform and the train is only going to be 2 mins late 08:30 instead of 08:28, all good... hang on I'm supposed to be catching the NINE twenty eight - oh FFS

Gladly I live 3 mins from the station, so back home now and relaxing... told the woman at the ticket barrier I'd be back in an hour

 

[Banjo]

Anyone driving to the start in the morning may wish to consider allowing more time as there is fog forecast for mid Wales early tommorow morning.

Should start to lift for the ride starting.(Hopefully fog wont happen at all but it is in the forecasts)
