If it makes you feel better, I'm riding a bike that, apart from a week in Majorca last year, I've only ridden for the club hill climb champs the last two years. We're talking 1.5hr, 2min race, 1.5hr.
Just for good measure, the saddle on it is brand new and the longest ride I've done is ~120k last Sunday. Brand new front wheel and tyres seem all good on that ride. I'm still faffing with bottle cages and top tube bag arrangement.
Sleeping plan: no sleep
Route? hahahahah Garmin hahhahaa
I can't take ibuprofen because of the anticoagulants I'm on. I do have some panadol. This is gonna hurt I think.

Completely panic mode.
Fitted a new saddle at the weekend. No long rides done on it (though it is very similar to my current saddle, just a tiny bit of padding as opposed to completely solid). Waiting on a dynamo wheel from t_w. Hopefully get that sorted tomorrow. Fitted 28mm tyres at the weekend. No idea on a sleeping plan. Every commute feels hard and is accompanied by a "ooh, was that a twinge in my knee?" feeling. No research on route. No plan beyond "follow the crowd". Worried about Shermers neck and wondering why I am entered.
