Hey just registered for my 1st B2GC!!! Where did you guys get the ref #?, it would be interesting to have an idea of how many registrations there are to date.

***Also note, AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THE "EARLY-BIRD ENTRIES " CLOSE and prices go up $10 across the board***

Going to purchase the BikeForce Oxenford jersey for this one as when I signed up it was with that groups team.

Always good to ride as a group! I also need a white jersey... as the other ones I have a black and they are getting to warm now.

The long-range forecast is looking good with a northerly wind. Hamster loves tailwinds

Nah that forecast must be wrong, i'm doing the ride, therefore no tailwind

lol.

Ldr, you can still drop out. Take one for the team so we can have our tailwind!

Lol, well there's a first time for everything, and i would love to have a tailwind for the first time! Either that or you can all just suck wheel while i grovel and drool into the wind lol.

Max · Postby **Max** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:49 am

I'm ok with either option LOL. I'll just have to make sure I draft far enough back that the drool misses me!

Great news guys, the forecast is now for a south-easterly at 19 kph so basically a headwind. While these extended-range forecasts are pretty flakey the good thing is that it's looking like it will be nice and dry.

Hamster has Pierre in at the LBS getting a check-over, so it you see a fat, bald, old, red-faced and grumpy dude on a black Peugeot that'll be me.

I'm not that fussed about a headwind... just as long as it hangs around for the return leg!

You want a headwind on the way down and then a headwind on the way back

Hey guys,

I got my letter today which included by race number to attach to my bike.

Not sure if it mentioned it in the letter but the PDF which has details all about the ride is now uploaded I had been looking for something like this and it has a lot of useful information.

jasonc · Postby **jasonc** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:14 pm
