|
Having just come basically last in the Etape on Sunday, I fancy my chances of trying to improve my results in Wales this weekend. Thought I'd do the shortie (100k) as the hills are a bit Marie Blanque-y. Any other Wheelers doing it?
I'll be in KW kit, or Kraftwerk kit (long story) so shout if you see me.

Robin - Do you have any pics of the Kraftwerk top? Sounds cool.
I picked up the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon top last year which has a lovely little touch of a few lyrics from Brain Damage hidden inside the rear pockets.

Still a beast of a ride - 4h20min - not great but over an hour quicker than last year, despite an extended route (now 63miles). Legs still ached from etape, but tellingly i managed to ride the whole thing with barely a break. Other etapists were hurting too!
Dan - loadsa of photos on FaceBook - just search for me and you'll see them.
