Thanks

9.00 am at the Create (not Creation !) Centre. It's BS1 6XN. Google "Create Centre Bristol" and your search will probably return a nice little map of where it is

@Gary, see you at Costa in the AM.

Good man. Chris Speedplay is coming along too so you might like to call in on him on your way.

Sorry gents, not going to make tomorrow. I have neglected the essay today and had a BBQ instead! Enjoy!

Had BBQ today too, had to hold back from usual overfill, to have some chance of getting round the route tomorrow Am sure there will be another one soon if its this popular

Well I'm keen whenever I'm around. Which isn't all that often at the moment!

People will def need suntan lotion tomorrow (there, I've gone and jinxed it!), I'll stick some in my car just in case some forget but it's expensive so pls remember to use your own :p

Also bringing a banana, date & pecan cake if anyone wants a slice for their jersey pocket (sandwich bag provided!)

now that I'm already lightly burnt I remember the lotion :)

He is riding from Thornbury. I am driving over to Bradley Stoke.

Will see you in the AM.

Planning to make this as long as possible, so will start at Costa, see you just before 8.

I take it there will be a stop somewhere? I've never really carried energy bars before, and don't have any ... relied on the food stations on event rides in the past ... wouldn't know what to take and bit late to get anything now ...

There's tons of advice on t'net about what to eat when cycling but basically you need to eat low fat carbohydates. If you're not short on cash then energy bars are the easy option but if you have to watch the pennies home-made flapjack is the answer. Other favourites are fig-rolls, dried fruit and bananas (yeah, they're made of carbs too !)

You sound like something from a Delia Smith cookbook!

I've just about shaken off the cold I've had all week. See you all @ Create

Cold or hangover ?
Ar Dad did drop that someone had a birthday lately.
