Those worried about lurgy/injuries: the last few years we have always had a few of us that walked a shorter route or even the same route... Walking isn't that much slower in the big scheme of things

This time it will be ultra slow as I try and ride the bike for a few metres, fail dismally, get off, push, get back on, fail, get off push... So anyone worried about the pace, don't
My bike also has a nice hipflask he got from Saint Nicholas, to keep ther backmarkers warmed up
