maybe we should get some traffic management in place and close the roads? a hi-vi, some cones and a sign saying cycling event taking place should do job.

I dont think we would be aloud to do that. Just take it easy down west hill.

The added danger makes it more fun - surely?

You would have to speak to the police and the likelihood of them agreeing is remote.

I would have thought that someone who works for TFL would know this, but alas, Texas like all Aussies was born dense.

I hope we don't cheese anyone off too much.

Seriously hope it's not as warm as today. Will need a cool pint or two per lap to survive!

Chamberlaines are sponsering the event. Free water bottle for the winner! hah

Can they afford that?

fucking english first chance they get to bash an aussie they can.

i'll write the traffic management plan for submission to the candem (not the police!) - it will go something along the lines 'during swaintoux cars can go and get fucked'. job done. close the roads.

^Yuh gwaan aks Candem fe real.

It's not like I was going to compete anyway, but I have to go to fucking Norwich for a 2 week Maths course so I won't be able to stick to my plan of drinking heavily and jeering at competitors.

Bump! Less than a month till this crazy shit!

I hate you PGM! In a loving way.

I love you hillbilly! In a hating way.

Shit I thought this was near the end of July, gonna have to get some training done!

did mt ventoux on the weekend. a lot of climbing indeed. this is going to make you all suffer.
think i may have to pull out of this one as currently i'm out of town for work that saturday (they need some advice on closing roads in europe).

Got to witness this madness and participate in some, albeit cursory, way, so I can one day say; "I was there".

Yeah I am going to turn up, drink and shout abuse at you nut jobs

As the official Time Lord I am very excited - we should definitely get sponsorship for this - at least for bottles of water and tinnies - ideas anyone?

You're a Time Lord? Cool, have you got a working Tardis, cos I've a list of people I'd like to go back and drown at birth.

Matt - wow had no idea you were so full of rage. The tardis has been repossessed due to the financial climate so I am left timing you mentalists with a beer in my hand - hard life

It's not such a big list, primarily it's my boss, and Cannon and Ball.

So who's running the book on this fateful day...

I hate you Andy. This is going to hurt SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, and I only plan on doing 3 laps.
