And a few more...

Some snaps...

Yes. Absolutely smashing the bacon bap.

I've got some more pics although they are mostly mobile phone pics (so fall a long way short of the excellent quality set by Monkey last year) so I will hand-pick the best and post them later. I recall there was one of you in the set looking like you mean business.

Yeah, I'd be up for that.

I've always tried to make it as early as possible within the window of the traditional "season" but I can't really think of a reason not to do it earlier e.g. first week of September, or even mid/late August.

Did you have an approximate date in mind?

Great news...

It turns out that Kam Tyran (see results above) is female so Pete gets bumped up a place to 24th.

Good things come to those who wait :)

Well, you can join us next year, although you might have bigger fish to fry...

Great job everyone. Despite the wavering weather it worked out ok in the end (as far as I could tell from the safety and warmth of the car).

We did pretty well:

• 03:34 - Phil 'Dark Horse' Channon (=6th)
  
• 04:08 - Sam 'Skinsuit' Day (13th)
  
• 04:18 - Vedran 'Blacktop' Kosoric (15th)
  
• 05:48 - Pete 'Steady' Paterson (25th)
  
  

The winners were Chris Tono (03:19) and Christine Robson (04:28). Amusingly the standout winner of the men's race last year Nimai Inniss (02:57) got DFL this year (06:23). Incredible to see how the year of living in the UK after his time in South America has affected his fitness and waistline.

Thanks to those of you that were able to brave the elements to ride. And huge thanks to Dan and Eb for plundering the Ray Mears eXtreme survival handbook to successfully reanimate the bacon, and to Ricky for starter and chauffeur duties.

Should be done with the 'race' by 11:30 and then (depending on pace) it's about an hour and half or so back to Herne Hill. People are heading to Canopy for prize-giving and some beers but no need to do that if you've got deadlines.

The hill climb is on.

I repeat: the hill climb is on.

We've announced early to give you more time to train.

Good luck.

Yes, it's looking a lot better. Just over 3 hours until the formal announcement. Stay tuned kids.

The forecast continues to be volatile. It's looking better. Who knows how it will end up? Wow.

Here you go:
http://www.weatherbagel.com/f/5f7bb9ba-4­0a4-4d9b-aa4e-774c40137e84

Best to get there for 08:00 as they are leaving at 08:15.

So far @Dan is making 8 bacon rolls for CSG (as claimed above) and plenty for Brixton.

The weather is looking changeable - it could be ok, or it might be bad - and if it is bad then it is fair to assume that people wouldn't want to ride out to Exedown in the rain so we will cancel.

An announcement on the whether we go ahead will be made here at 12pm on Saturday.

I've noticed an increase in cx moves on the commute.

It's more common for people to dismount and run their bikes across junctions then remount.

I've drafted rider and worker/spectator lists below. We need to finalise them asap.

Please can you:

• Correct anything that is wrong on the rider/helper/spectator list
  
• State your food choice of bacon, veggie, or vegan (including your family if they're coming)
  
  

I'd also like:

• A volunteer (or two) to take over the catering from Dan & Eb (as they need to get back early)
  
  

Try not to post any irrelevant waffle (difficult I know...) as I'd like to sort this all out promptly.

"Je prends cette mesure pour l'élégance du cyclisme"

I've added the route (as proposed by Brixton).

That was a great ride. Thanks Nath. Good to see everyone.
