I'm in for my first marathon!

Just need to organise accomodation, Gulp. What is the usual group plan if there is one?

Im not sure if I feel excited or horrified at the thought of 110km in the saddle.

Can I ride with the elite social set please Christine?

And they haven't even emailed their database yet letting everyone know entries are now open. I managed to register for my mate who's just gone overseas. I can only hope my other riding mates got my SMS message in time.

Don't be horrified, you'll love it. It'll be a fun day. The momentum of all the other riders will sweep you along and you'll hardly notice the km's falling away. Just remember it's all downhill after the halfway mark.

the number is your rego number as opposed to a race number allocated solely for this event.

People that have entered the three ring circus and the fling have the same number for both

somehow me think they deliberately stuffed up the entry system to raise their event's profile.

What a debacle it's been this year!
I'm in for the full fling,
sms'd round a few early risers, so I think we got the message out, and received Stuart's too.

Did 50km in the rain this morning, well it wasn't actually raining when I set off, but once I got over the Roseville Bridge, and on the way up to Terry Hills it bucketed down, and stayed wet most of the way to Mona Vale and back to North Sydney. A hot shower was REALLY good!

Well done mate!
Living in the mountains now should provide plenty of training Smiling
Now you just need to tag along on some of Carl Groovers or OneGear's rides!

You're welcome mate. since im in Germany at the moment ive been able to check in the wee hours of the morning and thought I better send out the heads up to the NoBMoB crew!
This is my first fling. 110 km's sounds like a lot but I'm sure it slopes gently downwards and there will be a tailwind.Smiling
