I know LWB and Judith will be there, any other takers?

I've pulled myself back out of the gutter and will be attempting on a Trice this time.....with newly built tailbox....bit late now, but I think it's crying out for a BHPC sticker [as was suggested by somebody :-)]
I'll see if I can get something printed up [time running out though!].

Hoping for mild schorchio!

Graham Sparey-Taylor AKA Greydog is supposed to be doing it but I haven't "spoken" to him since his aborted recent long ride/race.

Unfortunately due to injury last September on a 1000km Audax I've been totally out of cycling, I had unfinished business trying to do a sub 50hr ride for PBP.

Looks like weather will be extremely benign and more so if you like some heat.

Ah, I met Graham on the LWL 400. I knew his face was familiar but just couldn't place him - then it fell into place. He was riding a velomobile [sorry I'm not great on the different versions]. He did talk about taking delivery of another bike, but was quite cagey about what it was :-)
He finished that 400 just fine.

Wow!!! Clap

edit: I'm sure nothing needs clarifying Yanto, but I will anyway: I wasn't clapping because you sustained an injury! It had more to do with the sub 50hrs target!

Just to clarify, the Young Lady will be on upright trike for this PBP and I am on upright tandem bike. Almost under false pretences in this thread. We’ll both be happy with anything under 90 hours.

I didn't read it any other way SmileThumbs Up.

I was 53hrs and 20 odd minutes in 2019, that was my first attempt, I know where and how to shave time off, all to no avail now, of course we all know it isn't a race but a personal battle of mind and body over distance and hills.

Bonne chance a toi!
