[Andrew G]

no, but neither will he get me in the afternoon .

[Mike I]

No, I didn't mean to enter it twice! Oh well, double the fun I suppose.

Is anyone planning on a dry run? Alternative CR Saturday, perhaps?

[Andrew G]

Thought not .

Would join you on Saturday but some idiot's entered me in another 2 near Brighton .

[Daniel Gee]

Forgot about my entires until the last minute so I'm dead chuffed that they got there in time.

Roll on Sunday!

[Daniel Gee]

its sad, but based on last year's experience I think i'm gonna go for a cup of cocoa & bed by ten(10)

[Sylv]

Hopefully George and I (and maybe Maria and Aodan?) can come watch the Catford before shooting off to Hog Hill for the 2pm race

Don't forget to smile for the camera!

[Daniel Gee]

You had to bring that up

[Paul on the Pearson]

Is Lemsip on the banned substances list? Ive got a cold but am going to do em' anyway.

[Andrew G]

Should be safe Paul as even if it is then I've yet to notice the men in white coats at either of these events.

Is anyone riding out to these? Dan, Paul? The only riding I'll get done this weekend will be up short hills otherwise so fancy riding out to them as the weather looks pretty good. If so where do you want to meet and what time? I'm a bit vague about the whereabouts of Yorks Hill as I've always studiously avoided it, just know it's near Ide Hill.

[Daniel Gee]

Andrew,

I'll be riding out. Can meet u @ Selsdon Sainsburys.

What time do you think would be best?

[Andrew G]

How does 9ish sound? Should give plenty of time to ride out and then relax before the lunacy starts at 10.30.

[Daniel Gee]

Cool,

will see you near nine(9), having got lost last year I'm now well acquainted with the route there.

[Andrew G]

I know roughly where it is and I'll be taking a little bag for knee/armwarmers and a bit of grub so I'll chuck a map in too.
