    Got my number and ready to ride....!

    We will be on cycling vacation in the UK during this challenge. Husband and I are doing the end to end. (LEJOG).
    We are truly on vacation so giving ourselves about 3 weeks so we can experience the UK and not just get in mileage each day.
    If we hate it, then we'lll just hop a train for London!

    Flight leaves tomorrow night. We sent our bikes ahead so they are waiting for us in Penzance. Excited!

    like the Team 3
    his 'n hers dossards

    too bad I can't get my husband on team 3 that would really help getting to double count each day for the team. dang why did I not think of that...he even has an MFP account and has had great success with it.

    Okay folks,

    Back on the "proper" computer (been on the App earlier and couldn't see the communities bit to check on this thread)

    As I think I said - subs bench to be filled "first come, first served" - which means that substitutes who have posted in here are...

    1. KaktusJaque
    2. glenncomiskey

    (i've also had messages from a couple of other people - icehurtz and ScientificExplorerGirl, but in the interest of fairness and visibility to everyone I said everything had to be done in this thread - so order of subs. is down to postion of posting in here...)

    So - Jaques, Mon Ami.. it looks like you're riding at #337 - if you fancy it :smile:

    14556706795_837b23002a.jpg

    Oh, and glenn...thanks for stepping up, and don't be surprised if we end up calling on your services - with a group this size, sadly, real life often intervenes at the damnedest moments, and i'm really, really happy that we've got at least another 1-3 substitutes just in case... it makes me far more comfortable to know, especially as we're going hardline on this one with no substitutions after the rollout from Leeds, that no team should end up starting the challenge with one man down...

    That sounds great - hope we put on decent weather for you!! LEJOG is something I'd like to do one day too so I'll be interested to hear how you get on :)

    Thanks - we've actually (re)filled the four teams at the moment, but there's still time for things to go pear-shaped, so while I can't offer a place at the moment, I'll happily add you into the "substitutes bench" - Sorry if it's been a lot of messing around for nothing, but I tried to make it clear from the outset it was a matter of "first-come, first-served" for any spaces.

    So, if it's okay with you the substitutes bench looks like this at the moment

    I've been messing around with spreadsheets and computers (either for work or to get the logging sheet going properly) most of the day - i'll sort it for you tomorrow AM mate, if that's ok...

    Okay, logging threads are open (for the benefit of any nocturnal antipodeans :laugh: ) challenge begins midnight your local time, rides begun before that time will not count... If you're on a overnighter, stop the garmin at midnight plus one and restart it.

    Best of luck everyone, and remember, it's not really a race, so don't go out and do anything silly and hurt yourselves... My conscience couldn't stand it (and my bank balance is not high enough to bother suing me either !!!)

    Take care and have fun

    Oh... Anyone need safety pins for their dossard ?
