Wanted to pop in and wish you guys luck as well.
We're starting in the 09:02 group but maybe I'll see some you around. (I'll look for multi-merino wool layered chaps carrying bottles of brandy in their jersey pockets)
Finally, and not to be a bringer of bad news, but there is a threat from the national train operator, NSB, to go on strike on Thursday. Oddly, the main area effected, is most of the starting locations for the race. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by nature, but this one seems way too well-timed to be coincidence.

Those of us here in Norway (especially if we're on a train on friday) will be tracking this. I'll post an update once something comes out.
BUT! The weather looks fantastic right now... 11C on Dovrefjell (mountain top) with maybe only a small light rain....
