This ‘normal’ rider will see you there Ash, I confess to being scared and excited all at the same time. Worried about my bike, my gear, my fitness, my skills my my my … lol. cant wait. :o)
That just looks sooooo amazing I might wet myself. In fact. I think I just did.
The perfect antidote to that sinking feeling from the damp autumn misery that is building day-by-day outside my window right now. Wish I were there too..!
Anyone up for some predictions of the mens top three (and womens top 2!)?
