Everything is now ready, the cake is in the oven, I have directions. I will be leaving tomorrow morning.

I can provide text updates if necessary, is anyone willing to receive them?
perhaps set up a Twitter site ?

'tis a form of Automatic Diary, wrought in wondrous fashion from the Liver of the Elephant by the Natives of ~~Accrington~~ San Francisco. You can ~~keep fags in it~~ update it with the text-o-thing on one's portable wireless device.

I can, Annie, but I'll be away from the PC for most of Saturday afternoon (sis-in-law's 60th bash).

I'm not sure how much info there will be - it's not like Audax where you can tell when people have reached certain controls. I suspect the only info that will be officially declared will be the 100 mile times, and I'm not even sure that will be displayed in "real time".

So updates might be of the form:
67 - still riding
1 - packed
0 - RTAs.

Right folks, I'm probably offline until next week, so good luck if I don't see you first.

(I don't think any ACFers are close to my start time, so we'll probably pass at some odd times - Phil and Steve should see me as I head down to Telford the first time, I think).

annie · « **Reply #129 on:** 24 July, 2008, 09:28:02 pm »

Look forward to seeing you there Matt, I won't be online now til Sunday night or Monday morning.

Good luck to you all.

Charlotte and Liz are breathing down the neck of their Twickers clubmate John Warnock. They'll need to remove the rack and mudguards if they want to have a realistic chance of catching him for 5 minutes.

Charlotte · « **Reply #132 on:** 25 July, 2008, 07:51:27 pm »

Remove our mudguards?

You can take our fairy lights, Sir - but you'll never take our mudguards!

It's a very long tandem but its a bit of a worry that according to the start sheet they are starting a minute apart

Good luck to you both

Julian · « **Reply #135 on:** 26 July, 2008, 10:19:39 am »

Right, we're about to pack the car and head off.

Wish us luck!!

They were going great guns. Just waiting for them at prees now. Annie is preparing sandwiches and drink fo them. Will up date with more news soon.

Elleigh · « **Reply #140 on:** 26 July, 2008, 04:46:48 pm »

Mega10 has arrived at the pit stop. C&L are due in any minute. Phil (Mega10) is in good spirits and doing well.

Good luck to all riding. A lovely day for it!

Kudos to the support crew as well.

Fixedwheelnut · « **Reply #142 on:** 26 July, 2008, 06:09:57 pm »

Good luck alll of you, wish I was there

geraldc · « **Reply #143 on:** 26 July, 2008, 08:00:12 pm »

Good luck everyone!

*Worst thing about YACF is I read threads like this, and think I should have a go at this next year. Fortunately next year is LEL so it will have to wait a year

Elleigh · « **Reply #144 on:** 26 July, 2008, 09:28:15 pm »

Annie says thanks for all the texts. We're a bit busy atm tending the walking wounded, giving massages, putting cream on sore bits and putting food into people.

Mr Wow, your daughter is busy kissing blokes on bikes. Moral support we will have you know.

More news later.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #145 on:** 26 July, 2008, 09:34:15 pm »

Moral or morale?

I wouldn't like to think of any daughter of mine as being moral.

As long as it's only their morale she's raising that's OK!

gonzo · « **Reply #146 on:** 26 July, 2008, 09:46:05 pm »

Would you please be ever so kind Elle and let the boys and girls know that I'm about to go and get in a nice comfy bed?

Anyhow, I'm out for over 9 hours tomorrow, so I won't see this again until after they've finished, so good luck!

Elleigh · « **Reply #147 on:** 26 July, 2008, 10:47:59 pm »

Thanks Gonz. It's kind of you to let us know.

Just seen Y lee G, he's going great guns.

Steve A has found a second wind.

Charlotte and Liz are in and both going good

Mr Wow. It was definitely MORAL.

Elleigh · « **Reply #148 on:** 26 July, 2008, 11:02:28 pm »

Gonz. Charlotte has just called you a rude name.

Elleigh · « **Reply #149 on:** 27 July, 2008, 03:22:03 am »

Teethgrinder, Charlotte and Liz have been in and gone back out again. Jasimine and Andy have just arrived. Phil is sleeping. It's very very foggy here, but they are all doing brilliantly.
