Anyone riding the re-scheduled Cat this weekend?

I'm starting from the green and doing the century ....

Not looking forward to the first 40 miles, given they've changed the route again, and stressing about making the closure point at 66 miles in time!

I can't make the revised time, but can promise you this - you'll have a ball.
I did a similar (ish) route last month, for me it was a real stretch, especially Winnats Pass. Lovely weather forecast for this weekend, remember suncream (I got burned nice and pink on my big chesire ride), and if you get knackered, just stop at the top and enjoy the views.

PS - I DO hope you're going to be in a PH jersey =)

Sadly no PH jersey - missed the first order, I will be in my new Radioshack top instead (if Wiggle get it to me in time)!

I'm just not looking forward to Gun Hill and Wincle after doing the killer mile, the second half is my usual training ground so quite happy about that bit.

I will be stealing the kids factor 50 too - think the heat is going to be brutal. Was planning to skip the first feed station - but think I will need to top up the bottles at the very least.
