2013-06-09 - London Ditchling Devil 200km Audax

So whose actually going to do this?

I'm already in like an onion.

Nice. I'll look for you at the start. Is it worth arriving a bit early do you think?

Me too!

Just in case so you can pick up your Brevet card.

Cool, I'll aim to get there at 7.45am. Ill be wearing a yellow KAS jersey and lfgss cap under my lid. Come say hi please, as I'm entering this on my own!

^ Ditto. Will be on the fire-engine red fixed with bullhorns and a flower in my hair.

Also ditto.

What are you riding Hovis?

You will have a flower in your hair too? Excellent.

I'm going to be on roadie douchebag mode. Will be riding this, but with much more sensible open pro wheels.

And I've swapped the bars out for something far more elegant before any of you go dissing my bike

^ Oof. Suspect the start may be the only time I see you.

How was the food last year?

^ Oof. Suspect the start may be the only time I see you.

Noo! I'm all gear and no idea.

I'm still in (with a friend), I think Blowfish said she was doing it, and Zanda said on Tuesday he was stil planning to do it. I will be geared - and all about the views and cake (and beans on toast, and a beer at the end ...)

Amazing, that's made my day.

"Get it inside you boy, and you'll be going up that hill as fast as you come down!"

^^ i am still doing it =) does everyone start off at 8?

After you get your Brevet card stamped, yep.

I decided not to bring food apart from a couple energy gel, there's gonna be a lots of cake stop if last year is anything to go to by.

Have a great ride, all of you.

I'm just gonna go with the flow and leave with everyone else/you guys.

Bringing lots of peanut butter jam sandwiches as my appetite is insatiable

Wind is looking pretty horrible :(

Last minute in. woops.

I'm sticking with you as long you provide that sandwich!

Gears for me. Haven't ridden anything over 100km on fixed since PBP 2011.

I'm mainly looking forward to not having to get up until 7.30am (if Mini-GB allows) and still be able at the start on time. Most other Audaxes require a 5am start or even earlier (travelling up the night before).

Exactly, it's five minutes from my house.

See you guys tomorrow!
