I'm aiming to be at the spoons for as soon after 9 as I can on my ECE, so should be refuelled and able to help near to start-time.
In other ACME news: three of us out and about on 'Emitremmus Desrever' from Stevenage yesterday. Saw Tippers at the start [300km day - ECE via Bures!] and Redlight at Saffron Walden mid-way through - both in a later start group. Among a few other 'usual suspects' I saw Peter Walton [Hertfordshire Wheelers] came stonking past in a club group and said hi. Usual gripes about crap group riding, unfriendly overtakers who then sat 50 yards up ahead for ages etc etc...but it's a great, hilly route, just a pity the mist rendered much of the scenery invisible
Kept forgetting to let the Pinarellos go, rather than trying to keep up, with me on my 'winterised' fixie: Marathon Plusses, 64" twiddly gear, saddlebag, and so on. My righteous mudguard was admired though
Bounced all controls, then had a big feed back at Costello's. I think I will be more leisurely next week...
