I'll take my D+. In fact, I'll take my D+ while drinking a nice cold diet coke, reading this post and getting ready to pre-ride the race course for next week's mtb race here in own back yard (Draper). I don't know Fish that well. I met him on the White Rim Ride but he gets 2 points from me on the cool guy factor. after hearing the tape worm story during the White Rim Ride, I couldn’t get past the thought of filtering water from a pond full of cow poop on the KTR.

Plus if you order it the cover is scratch and sniff in one of 4 flavors. I'd definetly add some matches in a ziploc/waterproof matches. A heavy needle and some high quality floss for sidewall repair. Good luck man, and remember comedies aren't good on long rides! :) Not sure if you’ve been to cake’s site recently but they just released a Rarities/B’sides album now that they are back on their own label, leading off with War Pigs (Awesome job on it, saw em live last week).

I've done 24 hour solos before and I know that these hours are the hardest (from a mental standpoint). Keep them turning! BB Fatty,

It's 4 weeks to the L2B(2L) and I was rather hoping to be wearing orange. Fatty: can we have a jersey update please? It’s 4 weeks to the L2B(2L) and I was rather hoping to be wearing orange.

No spare cleat? In the space of about a fortnight, a little under a year ago, read 2 stories about cleat trouble. One concerned your good self falling off your carbon wunderbike in front of some gun-toting redneck in a pick-up. I'm pretty sure that I read the other on this site too - somebody losing a cleat bolt during the Leadville race. Those stories convinced me to pack a spare SPD cleat when we rode the South Downs Way last September and what do you know, after a year free of cleat problems, one of the guys ends up with a loose cleat and, in the ensuing panic, manages to lose a cleat bolt. That would have been a whole lot of hassle for want of a tiny wee bolt. Since then I always carry a spare cleat. Hey, it only weighs a few grammes. I carry it with about 15 kilos of other Things That I Might Need That Weigh Only A Few Grammes. What? No spare cleat?

As a matter of interest I reckon it has been mentioned before but is anyone else finding they have to log into FC twice because it all freezes up the first time? Oh Bo**o*ks now I’m doing it.
