You really are conjuring the "spirit" of the ride in my mind. It`s great to be miserable all week thinking about it rather than just experiencing the 40 hours of mental anquish at the weekend.
Is there anyone planning on enjoying this, or do we all need the points?
Aren't there charities for this kind of thing?
I need a fixed 600 for my SFW. That's always fun across the Fens in a big enough gear
Also the Wetherspoons Manoeuvre:
#1. The Moon Under Water at Boston
#2. Pack Horse Inn, Sleaford
#3. The George, Whittlesey, on the way out too if you fancy it
And the Angel and Harp Arrivee...that should do it
