My day of reckoning is nearly upon us (6th July).
Is their any last minute advice you can give me? This been aimed at Arthur, Willy etc who I know have done it and in the case of Willy is doing it this year along with Dave C.
Also my number is 2215, I know they set them off in pens but how many at a time? It might be handy to know how long it might take to cross the start line. i have some concerns about the sweeper van that runs at the elimaninatiion time. Was glad my number wasnt 9000 odd. Setting off at the back would definitly have worried me.
I must admit I'm looking forward more to CTC trip in September to the Pyrennees but having said that it might mean reliving some of the horrors up the Tourmalet.
Im sure I'll be OK. I feel I've done quite a few mile this year.
