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!]. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cYQ4GEsuJ634saQA9 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!!!  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   .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!
