    It means you're heading for a Top 20 surely?

    I'm crapping myself too. I think I'm past the 'you're going to crash and burn and be eliminated' stage, but still...
    Furthest I've been on a bike lately is a lot less. I'd be alright with the climbing ...if it was on the road. I hope a bit of running counts for *something*.

    What are folk doing for drink? Bottle plus fill-ups/stash extra bottles part-way/camelbak?

    Some waffle on the blog in the sig below.

    What are you lot doing for spares?

    I was offered a spare bike by a mate, but logistics make it rather hard to get it to me before I leave for the North...?

    I can't wait. I'm buzzin' and well up for it, my main worry is that somthing will break (on the bike or me). Might ride up and back home to make a day of it.

    LOL, two litre bladder, 12 litre rucksack... It needs to have that huge big orange heavy bivvybag in it, as I am not allowed to use my far superior and much smaller and lighter one :S

    I am worried about breakages as well... Mind you, a mechanical is a good excuse for a crap performance

    Yeah, I was last, but my fork broke off the frame in the first 10 miles of the race and I had no spare, so I ran it all, carrying my broken bike
