Sounds ideal for after race on Saturday. How far is that Dennis? I'll be there, unless i'm seeing the g/f on saturday night, in which case i shall be trapped until mid-day Sunday!

Paul - you don't need to kid on you've got a 'girlfriend', this is an 'inclusive' Club! Laughing

By the way WTF happened at that roundabout in Carluke tonight. I lost all my momentum and chucked it at Newmains.... was going to win it tonight too! Sad

Good to see a strong turnout from the Albert again anyway. Smile

Aye sorry if you got a wee bit traumatised by that Derek!

Seems that somebody infront of the guy i was following decided to turn off at the r/about while everyone else was going straight across at full pelt, didn't hear any shout or anything, so the guy infront of me had to check up and i had to slam on the brakes, while trying to avoid the guys rear wheel!

Got a foot unclipped and did a wee dance to stay upright, just.

Was with them until we hit somewhere called Morningside and i didn't have a clue where I was and i was only hanging onto the back anyway, so i sat up, about to consult my Garmin and Guto came past.

He was heading back to Garrion so i just followed him, was only a minute up the road from coopers garage, but i didnae recognise any of the back roads/morningside bit.

I reckon Sunday's run will be about 70 miles. A good prep for the 100 two weeks later.

Don't worry about having raced the day before; the pace will be nice n steady.

Sounds good then Dennis, was just wanting to know so i could estimate when i'd be back, i've got a pass for sunday until about middle of the afternoon, so that should do fine.
