Be back than at around 4pm. If anyone wants to ride with me, I can easily put two bikes in (my wife's) car.

We can firm up times when we see the weather forecast Hi Jack

( where shouts everyone!)

the usual form is you can start your ride as soon as you want by docking your timing chip, once that’s done your clock is running so we need to sort a time, get the photo etc then get the chips?

I have no experience how busy it is, what the peaktimes are etc. My brother is riding as well (so that's two Dutchmen!) - although he lives half of his time in Chile. He's quite fast, but using my winterbike - so that might slow him down a bit. Like to idea of the photo at the start.
