I haven't yet but I will do. I have no idea how my body will react to 124 miles! What sort of time will we have to set off?
I'm off to Le Mans next week, copious amounts of beer and cheese probably isn't the best prep, but what the heck! Actually, I'm taking a bike out there so I'll keep...
Ringwalk is 11.15pm. I'm hoping the King and Queen are showing it after the Chamions League final, will give them a call later. If not, the casino on the seafront is showing it, as well as the entire undercard. I'm with you, Froch on points. Would be surprised to see Kessler get stopped but...
Oh, and who fancies giving this a bash? Only 115 miles and 9,000 ft of climbing :ohmy:

Team NSC with GOLD across the board - fantastic stuff.
What do we want on our caps? I'm thinking nice and minimal, white with blue stripes on the top, and a blue seagull on the peak. Perhaps a modified version of this:

Alright Bold. Yep, we're in. I'll give you a shout next week to fix up a meeting time at the start. My boss has also signed up - he's an ironman! We'll have a good crowd if Pogue Mahone and Hamilton sign up too.

Chris Boardman has just retweeted this. Has anyone on here been twatted by an irate driver?
I've managed to avoid anything serious so far, but then I don't have a helmet camera or a horn on my bike!
The van driver is obviously in the wrong but I...
Of course! We are now signed up, would be great to have a gang of us.
Ha ha. I'll do my bit on the front, but my <10 stone frame is pretty useless in a headwind! :)
I haven't touched my bike for 2 weeks now, struggling with motivation in this weather (awaits telling off from SB). This...
Respect to Pogue Mahone and Hamilton, sounds like an awesome trip. Not sure my body could take all those cobbles.
Looking forward to seeing the damage on Strava!
Having not been out since Sunday I was itching for a little spin. Pretty pleased with my time but still only 524th on the Strava leaderboard! The current KOM managed 4.19! At this rate we'll be under 7 mins very soon, the warm weather will certainly help.
Considering entering this next week...

Crawled across the line after 4 hrs 29 mins to scrape a silver, albeit with some help over the last few miles from my mate and BS. Playing 90 mins of football yesterday on a boggy pitch wasn't ideal preparation. I was reasonably pleased with my time until I bumped into a mate at HQ afterwards -...
