Having not trained for this event, and never ridden 100km before (in a week maybe), I was a bit scared about this one - so was the wife. I had dreams (nightmares) of cramps, crashes, mechanicals and helicopter rides.
Getting there early Sunday Morning when the light hit the surrounding hills, I think I did a little Shepherds' Pie in my knickers. I moved to the start line hoping to see some NobMobbers who like me wanted to complete rather than compete: and there 'The Pack' as we were apparently reffered to by the race officials, was formed.
