Barry's Bristol Ball buster / bash / blast - 2019 editions

Can't find a thread for these rides, so...

Who's in?

Are you as worried about the weather as I am?

The forecast keeps dithering between sunny (but cold) and rainy (and cold)

And the biggest question: will I make it 'round my most jinxed ride?

Waiting list hasn’t cleared so I’m not going. Instead I’m joining Somer Valley CC for my first social ride with them. I’ll do the Dorset Coast 200 next weekend. Good luck on your ride.

I'll be at the Doynton control with Red the Rocket stamping cards. See you there!

A forecast of 15 max in April is not what I call cold. On tuesday afternoon as hail stones came down, it got down to 2 degrees in the Midlands

The forecast's improved but not to the extent of it being positively sub-tropical (i.e. 15 centigrade)

You're only as successful as your last 1200...

I am doing the 300 on the Saturday, not this 200

Some people are intending to do both.  But the 300 is quite scenic

300k solo on Sat and just "upgraded" to the 200 from the 160k on Sunday with the missus.
