L2b training - tips and discussion thread

Being offered a free place with work - to take or not to take?

What is the distance, aid stations etc?

Please do it! Remember that lift I gave you from Dartford to Lewisham?

Its nothing to do with having someone to fix my punctures - honest!

54 miles. We leave at 07:30. 3 of us - myself, mudskipper and vetran. Team KUATB. Its only 54 miles - you don't need an aid station! I am cycling 13 miles to clapham common then to Brighton on 2 bottles of carb drink and whatever I can get from shops on the way.

Do you have a lift back from Brighton?

Lots of water stops - at least 4 or 5 IIRC. One at the bottom of Ditchling and another at the top.

If we're sticking together (which would be nice), the pace is going to be very leisurely, but we won't be too offended if you cycle ahead and get the beers in

We've got two unused places on KUATB too - dunno if numbers can be transferred?

Just finding out if they are expecting a branded echelon all the way to the podium...

(banks, its always a race)

Surely we'll be cycling back Brillo followed by a trot round Dirtfoed Bridge

I was originally thinking about cycling back - if you are considering it then I might join you.

I'm thinking of collapsing in the coach having barely made it to the finish, You & Brillo are a little out of my league!

Do come, the more the merrier!

I've dropped BHF an email to see if transferring places is possible and what info they need.

To which I got an autoreply telling me they won't be replying to my email before the event.

You do know you have to do it on a fixie or a tandem?
