Assent from Lou and with encouragement from a number of mates, so time to get this BG thing put to bed... simples:wink:

Lots of prep to do (I'm not a natural whippet) and competing demands on time from family and work, but shall do my best and most importantly, enjoy the process:thumbup:

As for training, I have says off in the week to train; have a 5 mile / 1000' lactate fest on my doorstep (as fundamentally, I am slow / steady and need to work on a basic level of lactate tolerance); a 15 mile / 3700' intermediate route straight out of the front door and can extend this to 30 miles and about 7-8,000' with yet more scenic terrain. I am lucky living where I do. It's just a matter of finding the time to do it all.

£5.50 for that little hop on the bus seems pricey!

Great news. You've seen enough of the challenge to know what is involved. Good luck with the training!
