GT2
wasn't my car
temperature was under zero

Fair enough.

I managed 29.1mpg from Devon to Cambridge in a 996 GT2.

Picked this up today from Oxo gallery (in support of WWF). 20x30in Giclée print - has to be seen in person to appreciate the lighting. http://www.rogerhooper.co.uk/web_images/OXOJUL15/index.html

Hmmm which Garmin? Not normally a problem although they seem to keep putting out dodgy firmware upgrades. PC8 is lovely - mainly for the screen layout - but pricey if you don't buy it bundled.

Er yes that came out self-congratulatory, just meant very happy to be riding home when I thought I couldn't.

Just found the cheapo spare set I bought the last time I got stuck at work late unexpectedly without lights. Thanks me from last summer - could really do with the ride home tonight.

A focus group you say...like a group of regular buyers with brand awareness...and opinions...and the money to buy things...and opinions...who are social media savvy...and have opinions...where could they source such people...?

You missed and have an insatiable demand for discount CODEZ

2014 donated fee and paid to get chance in second ballot. Didn't get in. Bought place from preferred charity. 2015 got ballot place. 2016 did not donate fee - if don't get in will buy another charity place. I doubt donating the fee makes any difference to your chances.

Don't forget that many important bits on your car are designed around current output, including:

• Clutch. My friend's clutch started slipping on boost in his Audi S3, which has (pretty much) the same engine, not long after chipping. Cost of chip £500, cost of clutch >£1K.
  
• Brakes. Will overheat (or boil fluid) quicker on a B road with more power between each corner. People who chip and know what they're doing frequently get uprated fluid, hoses and pads.
  
• Radiators and intercooler. Your extra output may not last a long session as the intercooler gets heat saturated.
  

Can't find the post but someone on here predicted the trade team jerseys would be in abundance as future sale items when they came out. I agreed. Here we are. The story arc is complete.

Short interval session yesterday, felt like superman this morning. 10/10 would do short sharp sessions again.

+1 - same here.

Youre supposed to say "dont worry mate"

So true.

Yes, I saw this last night and there is a way to filter - you choose various things like helmet colour, bike colour, jersey etc. But I can't find the mythical 'more photos' link today.

There were some seriously quick groups flying through. Last year I was frustrated having to fight through the general populous, but this year with a 6:15 start it was much better.

That photo illustrates why I only have four... couldn't find a good spot to mount the helmet sticker.

RIP rider.

There were bidons all over the road after each one I crossed.

Arundel Mandible and bottles <= 750ml FTW. Most of the lost bottles were 1 litre jobbies.

Yelled at a guy who threw a gel wrapper on the road in front of me. Also lots of banana skins and a couple of squashed bananas... not ideal, but nowhere near as many gel wrappers as the Etape.

4:48 on the chip timer. Chuffed. Lots of cramp in last 35K. Drank 2.2 litres of osmo - is that far off what I should've had? Not used to riding reasonably hard in warm weather.

It happens and is always a risk on an event with tens of thousands of riders. He'll use it as an excuse to get a new, better one. Sounds like he already decided it wasn't your fault.

That's my only recommendation under £100. Over £100 you can have the latest version of the same thing, which is smaller, or one with heart rate and cadence, but from your post it sounds like you want something basic for now, which makes sense.

Second hand - sure, but my GPS was stolen so I am biased about that.

I would just go and buy an Edge 200 - some online shops have it for £70, Amazon £75.

tubs for this event? what is the point?

1) It's summer
2) You want to use your favourite wheels
3) Your favourite wheels are not clinchers

nodders...

What happens if you are early (or late) for your scheduled time: would you roll through anyway without too much fuss?

If it's like last year, yes you would.
