Richie Cross

Jan 20th is neither a Thursday or Mon?

SwissStop are the way to go

I like the sound of the iPad option. Can get wifi in my garage but haven't got a laptop etc

Saw Strava. Quite glad I didn't come along on this 'easy' ride!

I'm just heading to bed so I'm probably doubtful

If Geo is going then I might come along for a doing over

Q Bikes I thought mine were set up ok until I had a wee tune up recently

Always been one of my favourite races

Great run. It'll be one of my pre Marmotte training runs but not yet!

Oh, is Sans one of the good guys/girls?

Great stuff. Could've told you a 34/29 would've been better

Sounds good but beyond me at the moment I think

Great Porto. Unfortunately for you, my mate got in there first so everyone has a room mate. Must be others who'll be mad enough to come along? Where's big Alex??!

Lovely. At the moment I'm in the "just hoping to finish" camp. I think there are only gold and silver? You can pass on your top tips Campbell

What's going on with the sprint? First guy goes off like the ....are the others still being drafted behind him even though he gets a fair size gap?

Yeah...Keith from Dumfries. Hasn't cycled for a long time!!! So...Charlie, you're sharing with young Greg...hope you don't mind

Are you on the Bikes Parts for sale on Facebook? I sold my Wheelsmith tubs on there

More importantly, what was your ave, your elevation, wattage, training zone etc Another 50 miles or so and Marmotte is in the bag

Ooft. Good effort. Back before sunset as well

Sadly not but I am on early shift so I'll arrange the rubber glove treatment for you

Is it still Aug 17th you're flying out?

Greg is eagerly waiting for a room mate. I've sent him all the info, links for the hotel etc but he doesn't fancy paying the single occupancy. It might seem like a way off folks but we're guaranteed a place. The official opening day sold out the places in 11hrs last time.

I'm guiding the youngster. I've textedededed Porto but no reply yet

Done! Team Law & Order are in! :-?

Green light from The Boss so looks like I'm doing this!! Well, work depending but it should be ok. Mmm, never expected this Anyone else? I'm likely to just book my single room soon as my OCD won't allow me to wait too long!
