So near you can almost taste it.

Not long now to D2D. We are now down to a confirmed team of 3 - Me, Karl and Mark.

After buying a Lupine Edison 5 for this event the bulb has blown on it's inaugural ride last night and so it has to go back to Lupine for repair. Oh well. Luckily Mark has also bought one so we will be sharing his lamp unit and using our own batteries. Not really a problem in a relay event!

If the weather stays anything like it is at the moment then everybody will be very happy (if a little warm!). It is a good job I am not superstitious or I would probably have just doomed the event weather by making my previous observation.

Tom has manflu(tm) and has laid out just about every possible excuse on his stall as to why he will not get a good place riding Solo. He also reckons that if he didn't have manflu(tm) he would win by at least 5 laps. Let's see what happens shall we?

More updates as the situation develops.
