RJMcB, I like the sound of proper refreshment stops, might be the difference between giving up and not!
But David, dont like the sound of your 200, rubbish weather AND big lumps might be enough to put me off for life.....
And Eck, if you're hanging on for grim death on a downhill I'll be burning my brakes out
, but if it's not all like that I'll cope..... Now I just have to tell Andy Pandy he's doing it too, and have a wee hunt for Mrs Pingu who was also thinking of a first 200 this year.....
I really dont think I'll be able to do more than one of the events unless I give up work (tempting) as I am supposed to be marathon training again by then
