  • I can confirm that (with 20 hours to spare) I am the main man ;-)
  • Well done Skelders. I bet the ink is still wet? I can de-pack my old CCA top then.

    Weather forecast remains good - 18 degrees, partly sunny and even just light winds on Saturday. Am I looking at an Ypres in Libya or somesuch on this weather forecast website? A part of me kinda wanted brutal horizontal rain and mud Paris-Roubaix stylee.
  • no way.. the ink would smudge! its all about tans :)
  • You'll join me next year then Martin on the first serious open Newcastle to Galway charity ride??? certainly guarantee the first two on your wish list.
  • Martin, Martin, Vince and Mark

    I'm leaving at 6.50am on Friday.
  • Thanks all for a very enjoyable weekend away. Hope it is not just my legs that are aching.
    Thoroughly enjoyed the company and riding.
    i haven't done so much interval / sprint training in well over 10 years.

    I was robbed at the trapist brewery with it being shut. That was a blow.
  • Agree with Vincent. Thanks to all for an excellent weekend, especially Richard and James.
  • Aye - well done everyone for a great trip.

    I've put my pictures on Flickr. I'll put others on there soon.
