Well, if it can be done as a solo permanent in December, it must be a piece of piss  ;)

Oh good. My reputation is safe then. Wouldn't want anyone to think I was going soft just because the distance was going up.

Well done and err, thanks. :thumbsup:

I reckon that gives me an excuse not to ride it straight after El Supremos 1000, which is just as well with my lack of fitness.
I'll go touring for a few days instead, if I'm not too tired that is.

ISTR that Iddu has done the K&SW 600 on fixed
So what he can or cannot do is not necessarily an indictator of anyone elses future performance

In that case, I look forward to doing the K&SW as well, as that must be a stroll in the park ;)

All the extra training I am doing to get into top shape for the Mille Cymru is clearly a waste of time and I will revert to the drinking of ale and munching of pies that built up my one-pack stomach over 2009 seriously though, I am bricking it for the MC1K and expect it to be one of the most challenging rides I'll ever do - hence a rigorous regime of gym, cycling, sensible eating etc over the winter and beyond.  How someone can do the route in December is beyond comprehension and deserves mucho mucho respect.

Rattled round a bit of the course this pm (in the car) had sunshine in Pendine, at the top of the hill snow, settling on top of ice. :o.! Fun drive back - at least we shouldn't those weather conditions in July! ;D ;D

thought today, since you've gone to the trouble of designing a nice logo why don't we have  mille cymru t-shirts for all finishers... somebody (i'd be willing) could organise taking orders and money from finishers, order a batch from some t-shirt printing company (there must be loads), then send em out later

The standard approach with such things is to take orders and cash BEFORE the event. If you want a shirt that actually proves you achieved something, expect to pay more due to economies of scale.

Oh, and expect a load of flak if you don't sell them to helpers etc ;)

I'd prefer a Mille Cymru cape that I could unfurl on any AAA rated event.  Like an 80s wrestling cape.  T shirts etc are so passe.

Make it so.
