How many bike shops have you been to today ... spreading around the dough equally to all .. I see.

Only two. I was going to go into Cycleogical and show them my new pump, but I thought better of it.

The comms from WW200 mentions a "control card". I don't have one of these, just a number, a route sheet and an information sheet.

Wassup with that?

Did you not get a plastic card with a barcode?

If not, presume they'll give you one tomorrow.

Plastic card with your name on one side, cyclesuperstore on the other

Taking into account the see-through nature of wet boards.ie shorts. Go for tights or potentially see-through shorts?

Also. Number on person or on bike? Bike might be more useful for referencing photographs.

TinyExplosions

Number is supposed to go on the person. As for identifying, I suspect if the weather's bad, there'll be so many jackets etc that you won't see number or boards jerseys!

I'll be in shorts (most likely my sorta see through ish Craft ones), and embrocation on the legs. Only question is training jacket or rain shell!

Jacket for me I think. Always boil in the shells. Muguards on the bike. Perhaps I wear shorts and bring leg warmers.

How many kilometers....hang on a minute...cycling up what...screw this I'm going to the pub1

Does anyone happen to have a .crs or .tcx Garmin course file for the 200 route with the summits and rest stops marked in it that they could share?

I installed Windows 7 on my machine so I had to reinstall Training Center and there's something up with the new version - it shows the elevation as all flat with only a couple of spikes in places. Can't find an older version of TC to install so thanks to anyone that has a file to share.

Hmmm, been working the election count since 8:30 this morning sustained only on coffee, fags and muffins. Excellent preparation, don't you think?

Is there a plan to meet up with other boardsies at a place or time or is it play by ear before?

Gavin

Yo Tiny, can you bring along my crack extractor actually ? I'll chuck it in the car.

Totally going over the top and have copious supplies of food and crap and tools in my support vehicle/photographer/dogsbody.

Anyway, off to bed for a 5:00 start. See yee all at UCD.

edit I'm going for Gym at around 6:45

edit part deux. A Bikeroutetoaster version I made. Could add the stops and such to that maybe frank?

Great, thanks. I found it my wallet, hiding between all my maxed out credit cards.

Best of luck tomorrow. Fingers crossed the weather is better than today!

Same all the way. The wind is forecast to drop slightly, but not by much.

Don't think I'll bother with overshoes.
