It's actually a shame because I'm only doing the 100.:(

Vélo

Approx how many enter each year?

And if I get number one, ya boo sucks to you!

What are the odds on Tiny giving some ridiculous excuse at work so he can leave early to see what number he got?

Haven't got mine yet, and I registered on the 1st day.

I had my first spin on Monday since doing the W200 last year. I'm doing the W100 this year. My legs were burning after 500 metres. :eek:

So far I've got as far as Sandyford Crossroads from Stillorgan, about 5 km. Quietly confident. :rolleyes:

I applied and paid for it ages ago, didn't get anything yet.
Unfortunately due to my ******* boss I won't be able to do it.
I was due to go on holidays to Portugal from 23rd-30th May but I wasn't given the holidays off, so my only option was 6th-13th June....and the boss (I mean my real boss a.k.a. my wife) insisted on booking it....she's pregnant....never argue with a pregnant woman.

So if anyone hasn't booked/paid yet, let me know and I'll just give you my stuff....for free.

Are there any other 100/200 type events I could do after missing this?

I had number 1 in a recent duathlon, felt good passing number 2 half way through the cycle... less fun meeting everyone else on their cool down run as i trudged home. Number 1 draws too much attention

You passed a number two halfway through the cycle?

Funneh.

I was just about to register in the coming days. Makes sense if i just buy the registration of you instead. I plan on doing the 100 if that makes a difference or not. Ill contact you by pm tomorrow.

Cool, just PM me if you want it, I'm online most days.
It doesn't make a difference whether you do the 100 or 200.
Up to yourself on the day afaik.

Homer: We can't lose! Look at the name of the dog I bet on.
Marge: "She's The Fastest"...Homer, I don't think that means
necessarily --

Announcer: As they round the far turn, it's She's The Fastest, followed
by Always Comes in Second and I'm Number Three.

Who is number 3 ... Mmmmm? I wonder?

Most importantly, who the F is number one ...

Haha, good job on number 2. It would be most humorous if the first 10 were boardsies

85. The number square is large this year, and the material is better.
