Well the prep is all done. Other than a wee spin on Wednesday and checking my bike and kit, I'm all set. This morning I received a note from the organisers that made me smile. Here are some of the key points:
1: Please note at sea level in may be warm but at the top of the mountain it may be snowing! Dress accordingly - can I get my parka jacket into the back of my bike shirt?
2: No "alfresco" peeing or you will be disqualified - hmm, might need to try the real cyclists method but remember to take extra body spray for afterwards.
3: There is an unmanned level crossing and a train coming through at 10.30 - if you don't stop for the flashing lights "you will be disqualified if STILL ALIVE"!
It's good to know the organisers have a sense of humour however I think all laughing will disappear when we start the 6 mile, 2000 ft climb in the middle of the 90 mile race! Onwards and upwards as they say. Bring it on or as my spin teacher used to say "it's only a hill, get over it". I am sure those words will be ringing in my ears as I try and block out the noise on me crying.
