Do you prefer Cadbury's Rolls or French Fancies? We may have some to spare :P

So there will be no Cadbury's Rolls left for me, but ROK ON gets offered Franch Fancies as well:rolleyes:

The offer was for 100suns! :P

However, I shall personally cook you a cake, Beasty.

Rok On: we must organise a French Fancy hand-off in Kenmare.

Sorry Raam, I'd forgotten about that "special" supply
@ROK ON, if you take up the offer make sure you have toilet facilities within 10 minutes and that you will not need to go through doping control over the next few weeks

Keep me a fancy and I may help you as you come thru Kerry:D
Choc or Pink one. You can keep the yellow ones.

BACK AWAY from the French Fancies. When the hallucinations start, probably around the Ring of Kerry, the French Fancies are all that we may have to keep us tethered to reality!

Bad news, team-mates. Those boxes turned out to be a lot emptier than we first thought. Some of them have nothing at all in them except empty wrappers.

In completely unrelated news I seem to have suddenly become quite obese and now have type 2 diabetes.

...and to think I thought you were joking...

Just made up 5 litres of energy gel. Got a bit carried away. Still, there's absolutely no chance of anyone going hungry.

Well done!

Purely in the name of science, I challenge you to find out how long an adult human male can subsist on home-made gel and nothing else, using yourself as the test subject.

I could have done with about a litre of it yesterday as I cramped my way round the Achill Roar cycle!

I'll keep an eye out for you. Hopefully there will be good turnout to see them off.

If I've read the info properly, it's Tues evening that the 4 person teams set off.
Hope to make it out to Navan to cheer on Team Boards.ie/Wheelworx.

Best of luck guys.

I've moved some posts to the general race thread. Could we try and keep this thread to the exploits of Team Wheelworxs/Boards.ie

Thanks

Good luck to all of you - the riders will be taking the brunt of it over the next few days and I'm sure the support crew will not be getting much in the way of breaks during the race either. Well done to you all for bringing it this far - just the small matter of those 2,100km or so now.

Unfortunately I won't be able to get over to the start tomorrow as I'm off to see Wayne's World over in Manchester (he kicks off just before you guys). However I'm currently trying to keep Friday clear of appointments, as I would love to see you all come in at the end.

(PS - look out for those red lights - they penalise you for jumping them;))

I am planning on heading out to Navan (in full new Boards kit) to see them off.

What time and from where are you leaving Dublin? Papal cross, Phoenix Park would be a good meeting point if anyone interested.

Would be great to have a sizeable bunch in Boards jerseys to cheer for the lads

Don't forget lights for the return home!!

Jimm,I heading up so if you're biking up I'll join you. The park would be a good starting point. I no idea how long it would take to get there,nor what route, so couldn't advise on a meeting time. Obviously I'd like to be up there well before the gang heads off.
