Congratulations on birth of your first grandchild. You'll be able to celebrate with a Black Swan when you get over there. If you end up in Austria by mistake you could do worse than visit the Siebenstern Brauerei in Vienna where the Czech owner brews his 7 star beers! I daren't touch a drop until after Sunday's race - it's about 1,250 mtrs (26% gradient in some places) and 5.8km long. No downhill. At 63, I don't do downhill.

Now there's a thing. How about more uphill races or races with a bit less downhill for us oldies!!!
