Far too busy trying to plan a wedding to get on the board this weekend. 8hrs at Snet should be a cakewalk after sorting out trans-european in-law logistics!
Massive thanks to Age, Lucie and Dom for the offers of help. You will be taken up on it! Age; special thanks for talking to Phase1 about the K3, I won't pretend that it doesn't scare the bejesus out of me just thinking about running a tuned k3, but I'm sure it'd be a big boost to all our riding.
Off for a 10m hike to start the training. And when I get to the end of the garden I may well turn around and come back....
Age, that K3 looks awesome. It really does depend on the cost of hiring it as to whether it's feasible or not - we don't have much of a 'budget'!. Also, just how do you hang on to one of those things? Riding it for 8 hours will definintely be a challenge and an exercise in throttle control!
We're looking at as many options as we can at the moment but hope to have it narrowed quickly so we can get on with all the other planning.
Age any chance you can u2u me ballpark figures on hiring the K3?
Blimey, I take it you three race boys were in the pub on Friday night and came up with yet another way to avoid having a proper home life
Tim, you'll be getting plenty of sleepless night training in over the next couple of months so you'll be fit as a flea for this.
Dom's website design gets the essence of this plan, I reckon but I'd like to come along for the crack. Knowing my range of skills as you do, feel free to suggest any way I can help. I can't think of anything, other than making tea, but wouldn't miss it for the world.
Actually, I seem to recall I volunteered to marshall on this last year, before it all got downgraded to an 8 hour race. So you could put my name down for that, if you like.
