A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

[quote="huw williams"]It is now - I've booked it, me and you are the first on the list for 2009. Anybody else?


er... i'm thinking about this. i hit 35 next year :shock: and could do with a big event to aim for.

like mike says, a year should be long enough to train... and get over my fear of heights, descents, hot conditions, hard work, commitment and spiders.

so... pencil me in. why not! :twisted:

Big respec!

Thanks for the encouragement Michelle and Co ! :)

I will probably do La Marmotte again next year, though I haven't decided on doing the whole one week thing - maybe I'm softening up in my old age ! :?
I will confirm my 09 calendar in the Autumn.

in my haste to sign myself up for this undertaking i forgot to show my appreciation of those who've just done it - so well done all!

agreed -- but michelle, having just read CW, you deserve considerable respect for doing the Dauphine Challenge ( I think?) as a warmup... :wink:
