I'm edging closer to doing this and looking at a single room at the moment.

Not a huge amount of rooms at Geo's gaff left by the looks of it

Hi folks,

Sorry to start a new thread but it's just to assist in my decision making!

I'm telling myself I'll chose PR over La Marmotte next year but realised I better find out if anyone else is planning for PR as I wouldn't go on my own!

Also...do we have Marmotte veterans among us?

I'm aware it's pretty hard or is it really hard?

I've been up all the climbs apart from the Galibier but not in one go.

What's the minimum amount of training you can get away with to avoid being stopped?

As I can't guarantee xxx miles, I'd like a clue as to if its even worth thinking about it?

Ta muchly xxx

Guess I should check if anyone else is actually doing PR next year!

boo-hiss.

I know! I would love to do this but would fear the time cut offs.

Mmm, Paris-Roubaix for me I think

Sounds great although I'm more interested in how the chat with trailer guy went

It's interesting if you check the daily points tallies.

I was making big gains at the end. So close!

Think they do one for the Vuelta:)

Were you waving enthusiastically, shouting "Hi, it's me, George!!"

Congrats Eric

Those 150 points more than me from Alaphillipe and Martin yesterday made the difference.

I can't seem to see the full league table to see where I finished in the world.

Watching the Tour and I think Alaphillipe is winning the fantasy tour for Eric!

Didn't expect that....thought my Valverde and Majka would get it for me today!

Down to the wire Eric!

De Gendt got you some precious points today!

Think it's all down to Majka and Valverde for me tomorrow!

Spied John Cain turning into Dennyholm Wynd in Kilbirnie around 4pm today

I didn't read the rules etc to see if there are any changes allowed along the way?

Alaphillipe seems like such an obvious choice now!

Or Cav or Sagan!

I'm in

Do your unread posts not show in bold?

I believe it appears as a run when it's not 'officially' a 30 miler/intermediates/main bunch run etc

Nice one.

Is that 60 miles bridge to bridge you think?

Don't encourage him Chung!! It's a social ride with probable ambling in parts

^^

Yes, you can.

2 for me please

I'll be working hard enough!!

It was going against Davies run where he won't be dawdling so I'm safer here!

Hopefully!!

Can you park in the garden centre?

Yes for me. More scope for a dawdle along the way

Davie....is this Sunday 19th or Sat 18th?

If Sun...what's the route to transmitter hill?

And will it be as fast as last weeks run!

I did wonder why Billy's Strava is only 84 miles?!

I was late getting out the house then into a headwind so I missed you guys by 3 minutes!

Luckily Carol, Dave and Boyd were still there so I joined them on their run.
