i say fair play to @Whorty for attempting iton a SS. I wouldn't but each to their own. We're all doing the 95 mile route, the plan was to ride together so we will have to see how that work with one on a SS. I tend to carry food with me, so don't intend to do all the food stations. Although I have been training for food stops with bacon rolls, cake etc recently. I normally carry some veloforte bars and a handful of apricots.

Are those grey jeans and white socks?
Hmmm maybe you need to get a colour blind test...
Bob... somewhere on this very website, there is a picture you yourself took. Sat in your loft. With bright pink socks on.... I really don’t know what else to say about that...

agree with that when I started cycling I would avoid hills stick to flat ride but now I enjoy them up to 15percent after the dd last year I felt bit let down cos I couldn't get up the devil staircase so for me its more about getting up them hills not how fast I am on the flat or decent but still enjoyable

This for me too. I know it sounds like something you’d hear in some crappy American film or something but I’m just a big believer in brushing yourself off and going again. And again and again.... it’s probably why I’m such an annoying ba@stard half the time!
. But if I wasn’t programmed that way, then maybe Bob would be defending me in court today rather than being clearly jealous of my fashion sense!
I’m not trying to diminish your targets Whorty so sorry if it came off like that. That course is brutal. And forget about times and all that nonesense! But of course we can’t have that bet if you reserve the right to walk. I’d be mad wouldn’t I?

There’s still time for the fashion police to make a call
What will be your defence? You can take the boy out of Peckham but not Peckham out of the boy?
FYI your pic earlier has again got me scouring the net for cheapish SRAM Etap

Haha! No defence. Other than those jeans were black at one point. About 10 yeas ago probably...
Haven’t you got some poor defendants life in your hands right now and you’re on here shooting the breeze?!
Mate good luck finding a deal on etap (hydro?). I spent a few weeks going between eBay and the usual suspects... I think compared to campag eps which is crazy money, and Dura ace di2. It’s still best value. So you’ve got to settle for that rather then thinking you’re going to get it cheap. It’s worth it though mate. But then my gut tells me there’ll be a new version out next summer. Not heard anything but just a hunch.

And I don’t know if it’s out already or not but don’t you think it’s about time these new witchcraft gear changy thingswent wireless ?

Represented 3 Today as court duty. Only one at risk of prison and kept her out. Really shoot life story. Advised a 4th who gave me such a cock and bull story I refused to stand up in court and repeat what he wanted me to say. Frigging estate agent didn’t want to pay privately just use my services for free. They are such w&nkers. I hope there’s no estate agents on here
I reckon your right and I may just wait a bit longer.

I'll check my bank again tomorrow Jim and update - it was only showing what had cleared yesterday so will probably be showing up tomorrow .
Anyway the order's in and I've sent them payment so I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out. I'm also hoping I don't regret going for a medium so will be on half-rations of food for the next few weeks!!

SRAM Etap is completely wireless. Apparently sram have patent on the battery on the front and rear mech which is slowing the other two down in their attempts to go completely wireless.

Ha! Sounds like it’s a story good for a laugh if nothing else...
