[LEL17] Good luck all!
« on: 29 July, 2017, 09:02:45 am »
Just a few words wishing all riders a safe, enjoyable and successful ride. I'm working Louth control for the Northbound leg (looks like I've drawn the night shift) and will see you on your way  :thumbsup:

Thanks Duckfoot, it's appreciated.

BTW have you made the appropriate sacrifices to the Lincolnshire weather gods?

Thank you. First challenge will be getting over to Loughton for registration without getting grumpy at either cars on the roads or people on the tube
Why should anybody steal a watch when they can steal a bicycle?

Thanks Duckfoot, hopefully see you at Louth early Monday AM. Late start tomorrow but got to get through Londonium today for registration. Training up from Somerset soon, ride across the city to Loughton, register then ride on to Premier Inn, butterflies are already making themselves felt  :o :o

Be glad to get the pedals turning.

If all rides could be gentle pedalling downhill with the wind behind rather than puffing uphill with a windy behind.

Eskdalemuir is ready and waiting. The weather gods are laying on their traditional fare: anyone remember 2009?!

Good luck to all, from Barnard Castle! We are eagerly waiting for you!

On the way to BC, we spotted on the M25 on Friday a belgian car with a velomobile on the roofrack. Surely an LEL rider?

Well if you're sure it's worth it... bring a sleeping bag and towel for the luxury experience! Actually, if you bring several towels you may be able to sell them at a profit!

Not doing the ride but have enjoyed reading about your plans and preparations. May the cake be ever in your favour!

Good luck to everyone, but especially all the lovely people I rode with during the national 400.  I'm feeling rather jealous (which I wasn't expecting!)
