Great work Gary, a fabulous achievement.

Great photography Ed - I like the contrast of expressions.

Some pretty good times - well done everyone and congratulations Gary!

Stupidly just checked BBC Website, 8am: "Heavy Rain, 5degrees, 23mph NE wind!" Can't be any worse than mad march hare?! It won't be an easy ride!!! Then again, I did a solo four hour ride on the day of the Mad March Hare and that was pretty horrendous. Good luck and enjoy yourself - some nice scena...

Well done everybody - some pretty decent times there - how were the roads?

Maybe a link to stress or Type A personalities. It can possibley be brought on by periods of intense stress - but no one really knows for sure. It usually resolves itself over a few months.

Thanks Greg - it's a blister on the retina - when I blink I see a circular after image - like a massive floater in your vision - it also makes your eyesight blurry in the centre of your view - great for timetrialling!

Unfortunately I won't be riding the first TT today - I've been diagnosed with central serous retinopathy and my eyes are still blurry from the examination last night.

Anyway - good luck to everybody riding - it looks like it'll be a smashing day to get those PB's in!

Thanks to Brian and Simon - you've certainly put alot of work into this table.

I would recommend Steinbeck - something like Cannery Row or tortilla Flat - good introductions to his work. Hermann Hesse - Knulp - a decent read. Huxley - Brave New World - Time must have a stop To kill a mockingbird - I agree with Dave - worth your time. Also type an author you like into this site...
