Can you give me a late spot please Ray. Should be there about 7.15 if that's ok?

Carl

I'm on a course in Reading that day but hoping to get back sharpish to sign in as early as possible - will definitely be riding barring any junforseen issues though Ray! 
Cheers
Lee

No problem Carl, I'll pencil you in for 20 ish

No worries Lee, see you Thursday, all being well.

Im gonna try and break my virginity on this one lol:bounce:

Yep....me too 

It's looking like it's going to be a busy evening; if that is the case I may change it to a 6 mile route to accommodate more riders, but I'll confirm that on the evening

Ray, can you start a bit earlier say 6.45pm or is that not allowed?

Do you need a 15 minute head start mark?

Jerry, how very dare you,  I need at least 30mins!!

Sorry Mark, I input the appropriate notification forms back in January, with a start time of 19:00, so too late to change. 

If you need/want an early start you can be number 1, if you have registered in time.

Ray, planning to break my duck! Can you add me to your numbers estimate?

Martin

Will do Martin

Ray, I dont need to be added at a particular time but i'm probably going to pop along, subject to me not being my kids taxi for the night!

Ray

I am looking to have a first attempt at this game so can you book me a place not time specific but if you want to get home not too late :D

Regards

Gordon

Oki doki Gordon, I've made a mental note.

The latest BBC weather forecast is looking good so taking that into account & as this event is a Bike Week event, along with several other potential TT "newbies" that have told me of their intention to take part; I'm going to change this to the 6 mile route which will be much more straightforward.

I'm keen to give this a try is there is space. Do you have to be signed on at 6 pm, or does sign on start at 6 pm? I'll be cycling out from Hayling so just trying to work out what time I need to leave. 

Do a few people do it on standard road bikes? I won't be the odd one out will I?

Loads on road bikes - I'm taking mine tonight. Just use this simple formulae to work out your actual placing, my time - 1 second - James Ayton's time and subtract that from your time.

Sign on opens at 6, if you can get hold of Ray beforehand he might be able to reserve you a time. First rider off at 7.

Just turn up at Wickham community centre between 6 - 7. Later if you've got kids who won't go to sleep when you want them too.  Go up the hill, which is First right after Chesapeake Mill.

Give £4.00 to Ray.

Follow all the other loons to the start line

Wait, wait some more, go to the start line with a minute to go. Some nice chap pushes you off. After 5 seconds of sprinting, the lactic acid is burning your quads cos you've not warmed up enough.

Suffer for 6 miles, usually the taste of warm blood in your mouth is an indication you're going well.

Finish

Go back to Comm centre and feel proud of yourself.

Then if you're bitten by the testers bug forget having any spare cash, as you'll be parting with it for a low pro, tri bars and enve wheels.

On the whole, enjoy yourself.

Like Carl & Jerry said

I'll add you to the ever growing "pencilled in" list of riders Mozzy

Chuffed with that! I thought I was smashing it until I was passed just over half way, turns out he won so not too bad. 

How many of the top ten would have been on TT bikes?

Great to see so much PNE representation tonight, some great rides out there.  Glorious weather helped too!

Very enjoyable (or as enjoyable as TT'ing can be anyhow!) - many thanks to Ray, Sheila & all the other helpers who made it possible as always.
