Looking good for the week-end. Just a quick reminder to all to check their bikes over, especially tyres for any hidden bits of flint or glass that may be about to work their way through to the inner tube, pack a spare inner tube, and take some food (ideally something savoury that can be eaten in small mouthful-sized portions, and something sweet like flapjacks or energy bars) and drink.
With such a large group, it would be really good if we could avoid too many punctures, to avoid delay for everyone, as it won't always be that easy to get everybody off the carriageway where we might need to stop.
There will be punctures, and as useful social stops they have their place, but too many isn't a good thing.
I'm really looking forward to the ride! Not looking forward in how I normally look forward to a ride, but even a lot more.
