I managed to get a number took me 5 minutes and I was 895. This year is different, Marion with Bittersweet on the tandem, Mitchell on the single bike.
zimbo don't feel to bad, as mentioned numbers come up. The second ride has been described to me by several people thusly. The first time you ride Mitchell you hurt, you cry but just the fact that you will finish is enough to keep you going and you complete the ride. The second time you ride you hurt, you cry, you curse yourself for ever doing something so stupid in your life.
This is going to be my last Mitchell, unless the club decides to go complete lottery for selection. I am going to try HHH or BS&G next year for something different.
