[quote="Andrew G"]Are you doing anything to your bike Adam? 2nd layer of bar tape, 25mm tyres, anything like that. Be good once you've done it for any pointers that are worth knowing for tackling the Belgian pave.
Nope, I'm hard.
Of course this die hard attitude may well fall apart on Saturday, but my blog will make for an interesting read next week huh!
23mm GP4000s, single layer of Fizik bar tape. But of course the same old uber comfy Selle Italia Flite. Might lower the tyre pressure though, perhaps 90psi.
Must be noted that all 9 of us hardcore TSN'ers are doing the full distance. The only thing that scares me is having to walk up the bergs if they're too slippery if it has rained/is raining. But this is going to be some epic. After last Sundays 210km, I am now definately mentally prepared for the distance. So it's just gonna be a case of getting up early, and getting our heads down and doing it!
And I am going to get soooooooooo wasted on Saturday night its going to be highly amusing, I mean it's not going to take much after having ridden 260km is it!
And watching the big boys go head to head on Sunday will be interesting...
Tell a lie, I did just fit a new chain, and a new tyre, and thoroughly clean my classics special. Oh, and I'm leaving the powertap at home (don't want to wreck it on a cobble just for the sake of a few numbers huh Andrew!), normal handbuilts all the way.
