Myself
Dean
Bob
Tommy
Bridgy
Lee-dropped out, girly weekend or something
Not sure if there are more

In my head I was thinking there was more people doing it. Not sure why now... do you guys have confirmation emails? I can’t find mine.

Gawd- I am the oldest and slowest one in that group. And I have the slowest bike with Olde Worlde manual shifting. And the slowest wheels

They are probably all secretly dentists

Didn’t you mention you have a small niggle with your knee too? I can’t remember

just draft the wall of power !
it will give you time to gaze in awe at the shiny gadgets and gizmos on their bikes
i wish i could make it instead of the amalfi coast - oh wait a minute - no i don't
i wanted to see our Alaskan friend ( still think i may be able to wangle the next day )
yourll be fine Bob - its not a race - oooooo - hang on

Not much time though Lee, as they race away...and I try and operate my down tube shifters.

Looks like Rak is coming now so I will have some company.

What’s that Meilenstein Tommy? Couldn’t hear you above the sound of that dentists drill of yours

I love the image you’ve created for yourself as the poor relation . Does this mean you’ve replaced your carbon giant deft with a lawn mower?

Apparently deep section rims don’t make any real difference unless you can maintain 20mph+. If you jettisoned that big book of yours it would probably save you 50kg at least!

I’m going to have to trawl my emails. I thought I’d printed it out but I’m getting drowned in paper work at the moment. #shouldhavebeenadentist....

I have managed to get the book copied onto the Bolt

Frigging defy that’s an old mans bike. TCR advanced thank you. Just needs a better engine and deep section wheels

Haha! Sorry genuinely thought you had a defy. Which isn’t a bad bike I don’t suppose. But with a tcr advanced you definitely don’t have any excuses!

It’s true what I said about the deep rims. Honestly they’re probably completely wasted on most of us. I’m not saying don’t get a set though. I definitely would! I don’t care if it’s vanity. They look bloody fantastic, they make a brilliant noise, ecpsecailly in numbers. And I honestly think they encourage you to push harder so in that sense they do make you faster.

Thanks Andy. I used the rough date to find the screenshot I took of the receipt. Still can’t find the email which is odd as I usually file these things. But I’ll email them with my serial number now.

Nope, I'm there as well

The rider numbers are on the website so you can see if you are in there. I am 7927. Or give me your name and I'll look.

Cheers mate. I’ve found my rider number via a screenshot I took at the time. I’m just wondering if I need to produce the original confirmation on the day to get my rider pack. Or if they’re going to send stuff out to us.

Norry on another note. Am I right in thinking you come into London a fair bit for work and stuff? If you fancy meeting up for a few laps of regents or Richmond Park myself and Bob could join you which might be fun.
