Excellent! Just read your Dean ride report. I DNS'd and for the first time (apart from BCM 2006) do not regret that decision. Hope you are refreshed by next saturday.
...my email is on the side...
Ian H - you have PM.

Do I hear the sound of a gauntlet being flung down?
(I did a 200 in Feb).
Cleaned the bike this evening.
It'll bucket it down, then.
Metcheck is claiming a 'feels like' of -8ºC for 7.00AM Sunday morning :o.
Glad you got back ok Maladict - I think I spotted you at Shobdon but didn't get a chance to introduce myself. Did Greenbank finish?
we arrived at the airfield control to see Judith Swallow just leaving.
Made the right decision and took the Dinotte 600 to supplement the solidlights. Great though the solidlights is it isnt enough for anything above 15mph. Having the 600 meant I could fly down the descents on the last stage.
I set out to try to pace myself so there was none of this tearing off with the fast guys then regretting it later.

Erm, isn't that the whole point of the Elenith ? :)
You must have it set up wrong

As Chris N and Pumpe's roomy,........ Nice couple of beers and craic with them the evening before.
but I've done an awful lot of dark miles on one in the last few years and I've never needed extra light.
Also riding, and making a comeback after 9 years, were LEL Inaugurals Lee Shale...
Don't look at me, I am soshyslow. Don't look at me, just pretend I am not here. I amshyslow. I amS-H-YS-L-O-W.
"That's a strange looking bike"
"It's called a recumbent bike" I said, being civil but really wanting to get going.
"And I can tell ya exactly where it's made", as he points knowingly
"Oh yeah"
"Yeah, that is a Pashley bike"
"It is?"
I now have a picture in my mind, courtesy of Pumpers' RR:QuoteDon't look at me, I am soshyslow. Don't look at me, just pretend I am not here. I amshyslow. I amS-H-YS-L-O-W.
Unfortunately I didn't need the maid's outfit / Pumpers juxtaposition. Pass the brain bleach. :(
I am at a total loss to know what this means ??? ??? ???
So how does the climbing on this compare to the BCM?? I'd love to do the BCM but felt like I was going backwards on this - severe doubts as to whether i could hack another 300k on top!The Elenith has some steep descents, and you can "lose" a lot of time on those; not so on the BCM. And you'll have ages in hand, as well.
