P.S, it is fully built now! 😉

with the lights on my helmet/bike

How long are you planning to take? 😉

(I could have done with lights for the final descent last year, but I don't think anyone will finish that slowly this year, with the drier weather.

I will be on a blue giant anthem,wearing a wembley cycles western australia jersey. White astravan on the main campsite with wife, weimaraner and jack russell. Come and say hello! Dogs dont bite!!!

I'll be there, but to marshal, so I'll abuse those I know and encourage those I don't!

I'll be there catching some zzzzz in my blue fiat doblo van. Give us a knock. Riding a white Cannondale Rize. Sorry to disappoint, but I'll not wearing my trademark cut off denim shorts 😀

I'll be on the Black Orange P7, with Rohloff hub. Aiming for a finish, and if I'm finishing I'm aiming for a mid-table finish.

Black Audi A5. Arriving relatively late at the campsite so I expect it will be dark.

i'll be there by 5ish i hope. Driving red civic type r and riding Spesh carbon stumpy, wearing probably blue Scotland top

I'll be on (another) TD-1, probably black On-one jersey. Mates coming too and riding with severe (ie antibiotics & painkillers!) toothache. 🙂

Hello.

Staying in Kielder.
J.

I'll be there marshalling too 🙂

Could you all please wear lycra (I'm sure i read it in the spec somewhere ...)

Staying at the main campsite. Cycling for Squarewheels on a Soda.

I will be there with my Giant Anthem (Orange and silver) wearing a blue Swobo top probably.

See you all there

Yep, will be there. booked in at the scout place about 4 miles away as was too slack to book earlier enough for other place.

Riding black rock lobster and probably near the back somewhere.

I'll be at the back slowly dying on a 575.

i'll be there with my wife and son - staying in a big camper thing in one of the campsites. riding a black soul wearing all black gear (keep meaning to get more colourful clothing). and definitely near the back somewhere! looking forward to this as i messed it up last year and feel much better prepared this time round.

good luck everyone!

I'll be there (car willing, of course!).

Riding a, seemingly, common-as-muck TD-1 as fast as I can without exploding, after camping in a cheap pop-up tent that will no doubt fall apart in the middle of the night.

I'll be there, aldi tent (red), aldi sleeping bag(red), aldi riding gear(blue for a change) - guess where I shop 🙂 riding an etsx(black and grey), I'll be the one coughing and spluttering on the start line.

As my car will [i]probably[/i] just about make it to kielder on a full tank anyone know where the nearest reasonably priced petrol station is?

Fill up on the way 🙂

I arrived late last year, and was getting close to fumes when I got to Kielder - it was a slightly stressful 20 miles or so to the nearest garage on the way home!

I'll be there on a TD:1 too! The one with nice blue stickers, rather than the shouty 'look at meeee' red ones 😉

camping? nah, lording it in my caravan (the one with flower stickers on it), offering refuge to twinklydave after my dog tramples his tent

[img] [/img]
I think I'm in the main campsite, green T4, I'll be on the above going for broke and am hoping to get round in under 10hrs if it stays dry!

The one with nice blue stickers, rather than the shouty 'look at meeee' red ones

Blue stickers are definitely the best. They need a blue saddle to really set them off though 😉

Well I'll see all you tarts on your TD-1's then.

I'll be there from tomorrow mid-afternoon for tea, banter and dinner. I'll bring a frisbee and a hacky-sack!!

jonb - would be good to meet you as I've been meaning to go ride with you MAC lot for a while.

Blue stickers are definitely the best.

Chuffin' well aren't.

Forget the frisbee I will bring a footie!
Thats if I get on the campsite!

Setting off in an hour anyone fancy a drink in Penrith tonight?
Look @ cheeky camping in Pooley Bridge.

Hi all, I shall be there grovelling round on a scandal & use sub fork

hey need a blue saddle to really set them off though

HA! And just wait until you see my BLUE SADDLE

Coo eee!

I'm going. I'll be in a ditch, wrapped in my new space, blanket blowing my new whistle about 10 miles in. Old Kona Kula abandoned haphazardly nearby.

See you there 🙂
Will

I'll be arriving early afternoon tomorra in my silver motorhome. Look for the old git riding a red and white cube as pictured on the ad above. Will be wearing my bad brains mbc top (ride bikes, drink beer, eat cake) and will be annoying other riders with the continuous clicking from my cranks (no, not my dodgy knees).

I will be there on a Whyte 19 Steel with a Manchester Mountain Bikers jersey along with three other riders from the club. Watch out for the Leisure Leakes boys there a bit fast this year!!

I will be there late afternoon with my black and grey XTC and huge relief - had a horrible week at work with the threat of having to worl the weekend too. See you all on the line!

G

Just about to start loading the car up. Im leaving after 1am when the roads are quiet and probably sleeping in the car (although will have the bivvy bag with me just in case it's fine).

Hoping to get a bit further than the 4.8 miles i did last year when my seatpost clamp bolt snapped!

I'll be on the clapped out colnago and very narrow tyres.........

See you all there!

Old Hummer with yellow Rebas for me. Arriving Friday evening and fretting about my sore throat.

I'm staying down the road in some nice posh 5-star b&b that the wife likes 😀 will be riding my Soul in black, me dressed in black lycra and on-one jersey with white helmet. Very much looking forward to it.

See you fine gentlemen and ladies down at the start

Kona Unit 2-9, at the back, lamenting the fast dry surface and my 32:20 gearing

Specialized Epic Marathon, Help for Heros or 7stanes jersey, sleeping in the back of a blue T4 somewhere

I'll be there on my GF rig wishing I had gears on the fireroads. Wearing green cookson cycles jersey and velocake shorts.

I'll be there clutching my back and bugging out at the half way point.

If anyone needs a whistle, I'll have a spare on me at registration.

But you'll have to find me 🙂

I'm there with JonB, like he said, green Orange Crush, red MidAirCrisis tops (top matched the other bike & clashes with this one. Ho hum.)
😀

couple of weeks ago it was binning it down for about a week so various parts may be still be wet under foot, it takes alot to dry out around there! anyway i want to ride that 2 foot puddle again it was fun. i'll be on my black cube staying in the YHA. see you then.

I'll be there on a black Mount Vision, you'll know it's me from the creaking and I'll be at the back. 😳
Say hello as you breeze past.

Will be there on my turquoise 575, wearing the first thing that comes ot of the bag that looks suitable. Staying at Kielder campsite with Mrs B, somewhere near Tracker1972 if I can find him. He is proper keen as he is there already.

I'll be there. Pink Scandal 29er, rigid, alfine. Manchester Mountainbikers shirt. Probably on the first broomwagon back!

Good Luck y'all

George

George you wont be on the broom waggon I wont let you, will tie you to Dean if needed 😆

George you best not be on the first one, gotta make it to at least the second....

I'll be there on my silver Trek, MMB top hopefully keeping up with bennyboy!!

Ron

I'll be riding a common as muck Jones. You'll be able to tell me from Dean because I'll be nearer the back. dRjON's is, I think, less swoopy and I'll probably be nearer the back than him too.

Probably wearing the same Twin Six Speedy top as last year. Yes, I have washed it since.

I will be there, no where near the front, Mule bar strudel kit, Borrowed Scott spark 30.......... will be blogging about it here....

http://blog.evanscycles.com/author/trevor-hulton/

I have this image of the broom wagon chasing me, and me refusing to get in 🙂

I'll be there. Chevin Van and a Superfly not going as fast as it deserves! Probably riding in 29er kit (it's black therefore slimming!)

Matthew

Rigid geared Pegasus here - bike far better than the rider, who will be a fat lad in a yellow top and black and white shorts (probably). Sliver Mondeo, Kielder campsite

Everyone must be travelling today. I'm at work till 1:20... 🙁

Everyone must be travelling today. I'm at work till 1:20

& by default ........so am I 🙂

Everyone is saying they will be near the back. Its going to be very crowded back there!

Setting off quite late as a full day at work and deadlines to meet.

On my way there now, M6 clear beyond Preston.

Short bloke on a SC Blur XCc, aiming to finish before dark!

Heading home, then setting off!

Yeti Arc, Arragons cycle jersey, at work till 5.30ish but luckily only live an hour and a bit away.

To avoid the crowds at the back i will settle for mid field mediocrity!!

The midges are also here in force

Beutiful evening in Northumberland.
It'll be chilly up in Kielder tonight.

Good luck y'all (especially JonT)

HELP!!

Anyone fine a set of prescription Oakleys at Kielder ? Either near the event tent at the castle, or down in the Tom's Field camp site ?

In my exhausted Bonked state, I seem to have lost mine.

Orange frame, yellow lense... clearly for a blind man if you try them on.

Mail address in profile.
Cheers
Stu

In your thread Stoo, found them this am.

Beutiful evening in Northumberland. It'll be chilly up in Kielder tonight.
