With such a large number of forumengers taking part in this might it be a good idea to arrange a time/place to meet up after the event and take a couple of pics en-masse(might need someone with a wide angle lens though,this list is growing daily!)

arrange a time/place to meet up after the event

Beer tent.

Well all the bikes are over 18 so they'll 100% get served;)

The missus and I will be doing the 55-mile route. No clue what I'll be wearing but I'm distinctly lacking in vintage cycling kit.

Heading up tomorrow afternoon. I suspect that the four "pre-book only" cycling spaces on Virgin's crap trains will be somewhat in demand.

I'll be on this.

Finished work, about to start packing the car, anticipation levels are high, road trip about to start, jesus this is going to be good.
Camping, cycling, beer, good weather - woo yeah!

I've been banned from camping :-(. Got a b&b instead... which will probably feel like a fucking great idea Sunday night...
