    Updated.

    could you add yours truly to the possibles.

    45 prob, maybe 60, though that would be close on 100 miles for the day. hence 45 more likely.

    Oh and if anyone wants the route card for the 45 miler so they can practice beforehand, just PM me with your email and I'll send it over.

    I'll make the other ones a bit smarter - they have lots of livvy shorthand at mo - but will be ready...

    +1. Hopefully a nice relaxing weekend for me. Up to the smoke Friday night, ride down to Brighton overnight, if the weather's right possibly ride back as well, then 60 miles Sunday. Which would be 180-odd miles in under 48 hours..then back to work for a rest (lol).

    Is there a very short "i'm seriously slow" option, Its only been a few days and already I feel like i've lost all my fitness :cry:

    On the other hand it's fecking hot! so it would be rude not to drink cold beer :D

    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Ah I can't really make this any more, damn it. I've signed up for a birthday party the night before at School Disco, so I can't really see that I'm going to be able to drag myself out of bed and to CP for 10am...

    Damn it, self. Plan better. :roll:

    In my head I'm hoping to do this, but it's a bit of a drive to get there and I'm not entirely convinced I'll do 60 miles. It's the plan right now though.

    LiTs I don't think I've ever seen you ride a bike except for too the Morpeth and from the Morpeth.

    Ah well, hope you have fun at School Disco (bit kinky isn't it?).

    Poor excuses, sorry...Drink slightly less perhaps? Get an alarm clock? I'll have a very long Friday night/Saturday morning. Possibly 120 miles, certainly 60. Thanks to 'rail improvements' I'll have another ten miles to ride Sunday morning, on top of 2 hours + on the train. Now that's an excuse. Which I'm not going to use ;)

    Ah, you're wrong, you've seen me arrive at the morpeth and leave the morpeth. For all you know I could have a driver waiting for me just around the corner...

    you're not that slow, certainly not on the flat... plus you can damn well catch up on your sleep during the bloody week :x

    eat a kebab before bed then something in the morning and you'll be raring to go, just think how good that first beer in the pub will taste... if you're not sick

    Here's a challenge correct as appropriate.

    10am start, 60 'slowcial' miles, pub lunch, and having to get back across London?

    Doesn't sound likely.

    What you intending for post lunch? Bearing in mind the ales consumed and we have a hill to climb right out the pub!
