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.

[ezzy]

Signed up last night 25-30 k average and had my first 40k ride this morning

[ldrcycles]

Signed up last night in the 30+k, no reference number on my email either, but i'll know my number when i get the letter anyway.

[jasonc]

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

[Max]

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

Max

[ldrcycles]

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]

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.

[Crawf]

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

[Comedian]

Exactly

Exactly

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.

Or follow the links to ride info / info sheets via the website.

[jasonc]

[Max]

Max

[ozdavo]

B2GC11-22. I was quick, but not quick enough!!

Max

Number 9000!

Max

So when you registered has no bearing on your race number...hmmm

[Crittski]

I got 4444, good thing I am not Chinese!!

[Waza]

i got 9386.
only thing is i dont get to ride for a couple of days due to my wisdom teeth being pulled out.

[jasonc]

everyone else is dumping their number, so 5528 (fixed after dyslexic thinking)

[themerlin]

Hope the wind is not like this next Sunday , crossing the bridge from redcliffe was murder this morning , slowed me to a crawl http://j.mp/oSARtM

[marsbe]

Great to see so many riders out today braving the wind. Bring on next sun!
