The riders.
- Me. 39, reasonable shape, better at endurance than speed. Sexiest bike. That's what really counts.
- Darren. Can be very very quick on a mountain bike. 3rd at 2009 Enduro6. He won a £10 Wiggle voucher.
- Jon. Weighs about 7kgs, VO2 max in the "Olympian" range. Annoyingly good without much training.
- Phill. Loads of power, my plan is to sit behind him for all the flat bits. Once rode from Cornwall to Andover to save on petrol.
- Dave (maybe). Works with Darren, I've met (and ridden with him) a few times. Experienced adventure racer, I get the impression he can tolerate a lot of suffering.
- Tim. Driver, planner, cooker, navigator, tent putter-upper, mechanic. Brilliant at crashing bikes in very funny circumstances.
- Lynne, as for Tim but without the mechanic and slight more crazy. Patches up Tim. Crashes less.
- Becky. General assistant and maker of great cakes. Darrens GF. Can ride a bit too.
- Liz. Osteopath/masseuese/medical support. She'll mend us when we are broken.
- Dave. Chief photographer and occasional golfer.
- Jem, married to Jon and also maker of great cakes.
- Shorty, a smaller version of Jem and Jon.
- 8 days riding, about 120 miles a day.
- Eat, eat and eat more.
- Visit some interesting places along the way.
- Find the best coffee between LE and JOG.
- Have fun, fun fun.
- Maybe even raise some money.
