I think they could have written a better headline tbh, when read it's not all doom and gloom and it actually seems like the road closures have been handled quite sensibly?! Typical local rag stuff though I guess? Yep, 8.30ish for me too. Get registered and go back to bed in the van until 11.45!
Very tempted to set off 10 mins late and just ride through the back markers thus avoiding the carnage at the tight bend 5k in... Although I do have a race licence I only use it for CX so the idea of going harry flatters out of the front pens with a load of "enthusiastic" riders is slightly off putting. I want to do a good time but not stop unless necessary as my legs seize up if I get off the bike for a couple of minutes so it'll be 2 bottles on the bike and few sweets in the back pocket.
If any PHer's want free a free cuppa then look for a grey VW Transporter reg OV57### with the pop top up and I'll be there. It would be good to chat as its going to be a long morning wait.

I think I'm going to be at the back of the pack here; might even have to leave my pistonhead jersey at home so I don't embarrass the team! Far too much work, far too many parties!
