Have to drop off the rumblewagon for its service at the village garage just a few miles out. Forecasting that I will get soaked on the short pedal back. And resoaked later when go to collect. Oh well, que sera.
Elsewise more Stuff Sorting. I need to get rad, more unneeded bits into crates for charidee shop.0 -
Definitely looks nippier and blowier.
Wobbling with V68 this evening, assuming the rain stays away0 -
Your current extra girth will stand you in good stead cycling the 40mph winds forecast later 👍beansnikpoh said:Definitely looks nippier and blowier.

Waterproof jacket
Waterproof trousers
Long sleeve base layer
Trail shoes
Hat
Gloves
Minimum 1 litre of water
At least 500 cals of food
Emergency foil bag
Headtorch (plus spare batteries/torch)
Whistle
Phone
Cash
Map
Compass
GPS tracker
That’s the mandatory list, plus you have a drop bag halfway round
So complete change of clothes and trainers along with extra food.
I always carry extra food & gels to try and keep on top of nutrition between checkpoints (well first half, second half I’m normally sick every time I eat)0 -

18:00 forecast for Richmond is a sun peeking out from behind a white cloud, 15 degrees C and 12 mph WSW, gusting to 23 mph.
Lunchtime and afternoon looks minging mind you, but hopefully that will clear away.
Do you and your tweaked back fancy joining? Strictly glass cranking, I think my power to weight ratio might actually be tending towards zero watts per kg.

Should be enough food to supplement the aid stations, I guarantee most will just stay in my race pack for a nice trip out0 -
Invite much appreciated. No biking till next week at the earliest unfortunately. I could shout encouragement/abuse from the car? Although I don’t think you can do a full lap by car these days.beansnikpoh said:seanoconn said:
