Friday Night Prologue Ride

Guys, I just got my press pass, so I'll join you there but I'll be flitting around photoing. When you lot heading down?

Great stuff David K - where will you be and when? i can pass by anywhere Central between now and saturday

This is for Saturday morning, read the LCC Members thread for details.

Sweet, see you all there.

huh?

hahaha WHISPER to me,
i often forget to click Whisper

Jos and I got paid by German TV to preview the prologue course from the courier perspective.....besides the interviews and them filming us we also got to film each other with a very nice onboard camera....in traffic.

very enjoyable work....pity it only comes along for a few hours once every x years.

zehr gut !! is the footage viewable ?

they said they'd send me a dvd of all raw footage when they've got time....maybe they will, they were nice guys.
it's entirely possible they'll only use a few seconds for broadcast if at all....my girfriend's family in Germany will be watching on Saturday....

So... this ride.

happening?

I'm going to the opening ceremony around 5.30/6pm. Then afterwards have to go with ms. ulty to get her bike. After that we're clear though... would be good to ride, but if that's too late we can come meet you all at the snow or something.

Oops stupid whispers.

david - i reckon its not gunna get sorted here now, so might as well meet at the pub and try and figure something else out from there?

after riding the route yesterday the "sprint" after the last turn actual feels kinda short, "all bets are off" might be better from Wellington Arch.

rakan Oops stupid whispers.

david - i reckon its not gunna get sorted here now, so might as well meet at the pub and try and figure something else out from there?
