    A bit late to the party but sadly not, I'm in Guildford which is the opposite side to your start line and have got the kids to look after too! Critten Lane has bene resurfaced so enjoy the smooth tarmac up that hill. If you wippets want more of a hill, could carry on to Green Dene and do Crocknorth and meet up with the slower ones at the cross roads on Ranmore.

    So anyone else for Saturday before Liege?

    Or is it going to be a Rick Dish 2 man breakaway?

    I am free that day, so a 50 mile or so ride starting at 9.30 assuming dry weather, is fine with me.

    Doesn't look great for now, we'll see what happens. This Saturday was decent, went out for a good 50 miles to take in Chalkpit lane.

    Shame about Saturday weather...

    FWIW can't do Sunday and in Yorkshire next weekend. Can do Saturday, 9th May. And then tied up until early July.

    I'm getting the impression we're low down on the priority list dish.

    You should say to all your other engagements "guys, I can probably come, but there's a chance I'll have to bail on you for the chance to ride with a bunch of nerds who write on internet forums under anonymous names.......yes yes, that's right, internet forum people."

    You call 17 degrees with sunshine, light showers and a lightish breeze terrible? You wouldn't get out on your bike much in most parts of the country if you stayed in on days like that!

    I go out in that weather, but it's not all that sociable when it's raining.

    Can always follow me on strava and check out my mileage ;) (which, granted, this year is terrible).

    What's your strava Rick? Should we have a Pro Race Forum Strava group?

    I'm doing the full LBL this weekend, maybe next weekend as a recovery ride? Or are you still doing it regardless?

    I can show up in my gabba but sans mudguards as that bike currently is unavailable... though constant rain is not exactly conversation inducing.

    Friday's weather forecast has improved so still a chance that Sat won't be as bad as it currently looks...

    Ha yeah...I don't ride if there is a lick of rain out. I don't own any wet weather gear either.

    I can agree to come now but I mean if it is wet outside I wont..and dont want to let anyone down like that.
