The Transatlantic Way (TAW)

I do remember Ed out-climbing me and I'd keep catching him on the descents

Funny that. :)

What happened at the hotel, stayed at the hotel.

Somethings are best left to history.

Lee Killestein is an Audax regular and has scored huge points the last few years, it'll be interesting to see how he gets on in a race situation.

Deffo. PTSD.

Post Traumatic Saddle Disorder

I'm in again this year, Lesley recons last year was too sunny to count as a "proper" TAW.

Lesley knows how to push your buttons, doesn't she? :)

Going well so far, bumped into Steve Abraham on the ferry and he is sharing his Stella with me.

Nice one! Have fun out there. There will be rain.

God speed, post updates

In fact - is anyone doing it instagramming it?

If it stops raining long enough I will do some stories - @colinross on insta.

@skinny claims not to be an influencer but out of 5 bikes so far, 3 are Fairlights. One of them being mine.

That is the zenith of being an influencer, doing it in a way that not only do other people not realise you are one but that you don't even realise it yourself!

Haha

I just want to inspire people to push themselves. Whatever medium or bike they choose is good with me.

I just validated fairlight products as good.

That skinny's a bit of a validator, isn't he? :)

Followed both your accounts, hoping for blue skies for you, especially out west.

Best of luck!
Will be following your dot!!
Enjoy it

Anyone got a link for dot watching this please?

What's the yellow line about?

Ta. Best of luck to all those riding.

Shorter route

Lots of familiar names.

"This year, there’s a ‘short’ option for riders to follow, lopping off 500km from the full route."

Full route or gtfo

Well, yeah, obvs. I still need to do this but Spain sounded warmer :D

I hope they can work out a different dot colour for the short route. Otherwise it could be a bit confusing on trackleaders.
