Today the ride from Cardiff was perfect weather. Tailwind and perfect temperature. Met Martyn and Rob who took me to lunch. Great first day.Bloodly lucky to see sunshine in Wales. You do know the locals are permanently anaemic with webbed feet
Welcome to the UK @Randyberlin
For the ToC, does anyone know the registration cut off on the day? The website suggests 6 - 8:30 registration on the Sunday for the race and Fondo, but doesn't give a time slot for the 100 Sportive. I'm having to drive there in the morning and it will be at least 3 hours (so up at 4:30, get HID washed and dressed and downstairs before I leave) so even leaving at 5:30 the earliest I can get there is 8:30, and that's just to the car park. The ride itself doesn't start until 10:15 so I was hoping registration would be open until at least 9:45 ..... having a bit of a panic! Pinged them an email, but wondered if anyone had seen any info on this, or remembered from last year.

Carl, if you explain I am sir eit can be sorted even if it means one of the sportive cc’ers collects yours day before.
The instructions suggest only Saturday registration 8am-6pm. but could be wrong. Email them.
Ive decided to drop out of TOC

That’s bad news mate !
Well that's me fecked then as no way I can get there on Saturday. I can't leave HID for a night on her own as she needs help through the night. I have pinged them a mail so will see what they say.
Shame you've dropped out, would have been good to catch up.
Yeah, have pinged them a mail so see what they say. I'm hoping I can leave home by 5:30 and Google thinks it's a 3 hr journey, so traffic allowing I should be there about 8:30 but more likely 9. Hoping they will be sympathetic so will have to see, else I'll be leaving even earlier, which means getting HID up and dressed at silly o'clock
Hopefully there will be a solution as I've been working so hard for this and so looking forward to my day out 
Im not upto it physically and lack enthusiasm for it. Just try and potter around till I feel better.
Nothing in comparison to caring for your wife, cant put into words your dedication

May be if you get ID to one of us, we can pick registration up for you. That is the case in most events like this.
