Did people bought the tickets or are they doing groupsave on the day?

Does group save work the day of, or do you book in advanced?

I don't know. I bought groupsave in advance for the iow. 4 people have to do it together. In the end I don't really know if it was cheaper

Route arrived today....

Reminds me I should print mine out and get the maps...

Do I need to grow a beard?

Reminds me I should print mine out and get the maps...

Post it here.

I'll cut and paste the route when I next get me laptop started up.

Do I need to grow a beard?

No but you need to get a new joke.

that would be great! the route i mean. I feel like gatecrashing a party :)

That'll be a crackin route. In terms of hills, you've not many to worry about, just the climb up to Combe Gibbet and Watership Down itself with a few odd little lumps thrown in to keep it honest.

The event blurb says mudguards are mandatory, but does anyone know if this means front as well as rear wheel? (Only have rear mudguard atm and am feeling poor after Christmas).

i would guess front and rear.
i'm fairly worried i might die riding this, the commute this morning was hell.
my lungs are not what they were before chrimbo.
all good though, 4 days to get fit.

I am hoping that it is only rear mud gaurds. Mine will most likely be a plastic bottle.....

On the pluss side. Heavy rain for Saturday! Horay!

Ah. I only have front rear.

I was going to the plastic bottle route too...

Sarah, I've got some SKS race blades if you want to borrow the front one? I tried fitting it on my fixed but I got toe-overlap so threw it in the cupboard. Patience when installing will be required if you want to give it a go...

If anyone wants to borrow it drop me a PM.

Plastic bottles? FFS.

You should have full length guards with additional mudflaps, or you should ride at the back. This country...

i am going to buy some muds after seeing yesterday that my bike was filthy unlike the mudguards people's bikes

We will all be riding at the back.

no doubt about that!
