• How long do you think you'll take at the first feed stop? Im trying to work out when you'll go past Houslow West tube stn. I reckon 0900-0930? I don't want to miss you, but equally I'd rather not stand about like a clammy, lycra-clad chicken-carcass (a genuinely accurate description of my physique).

    Your guess is probably as good as anyone else's. If you have an android phone, install the gps tracker and add me (see first post) so that you can see how we're doing.

    I'd aim to get there a bit before us and then cycle backwards along the route to meet us rather than standing about getting cold, but that's just me.
