The horror!

No, when I drink now I make it worthwhile or I make sure work is paying and it's expensive :)

Just trying to cut out the smaller sessions. Not carrying 5kg of beer makes climbing easier.

You don't need 5kg of beer with you when your blood alcohol levels are already that high :]

You should just drink it before you reach the hills then...

Of corks!

That doesn't look great.
But they aren't always right so fingers crossed

its only about a mm of rain though, not a downpoor and most of it isn't until the afternoon, so if we make good time we'll miss it all.

You've not done an lfgss L2B ride before then?

Yeah, with the early start we should miss the rain.

Make sure everybody packs some food, water and spare tubes/tyres. Not that we'll need them, of course .

yeah, and carry something which has got details of your blood type, contact details for next of kin, etc. yee haa

oh, and bring 3 inch high heels, 7 different coloured golf balls and a plastic colander. Plastic, not metal.

lebowski it's already fancy dress, didn't you know!
