Is it too early to get excited? Just one more w'end for last minute training, then we're off

Was really looking forward to this now just bricking it. Have done a decent amount of training but as alqways not as much as I would have liked. A few 70+ miles road rides and 40+ mile mountainbikes....

I'm having a bit of a panic regarding carrying all the stuff. I don't want a backpack but looks like I may have to get one. I planned on using one large bottle, a medium sized saddle bag and a small...

Cycles shirt with big pockets? Surely we would all take the required kit on any other 'long' ride in the hills? It's not that much to carry is it? I intend borrowing the Mrs' crappy saddle bag for as...

The problem is the wind proof. I don't normally take one when I go for a ride, not many hills in Cambridgeshire to worry about getting too cold or wet. In the winter I just wear it all the time. I...

sign on is night before. You show the things they require but last year they didn't do any kit checks on the line. TBH, if weather forecast is to be sunny then i'll prob forego not bringing one. Wear...

Rules mention requirement of a pump - am I right in my assumption that a CO2 cartridge or two instead of a pump is within the rules?

I don't fancy carrying a camelbak 4 100miles either, so going for 1L bottle on bike and carry a spare 500ml in back pocket. With food drops, we only have to carry enough food for each leg (25miles),...

I know some people only had gas last year. I'm thinking of taking one of these.http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/-_-/5360029348/That way I'll be covered if they are strict.

The longest you'll have too go is from the final food point at 75 miles to the finish at 100 (which was actually 103 last year).That took me more than 3 hours last year...

Anybody know why the last leg is so long without a water stop, seems odd to have very frequent watering holes then have a big gap for 25 miles at the end when you're gonna slow and thirsty.
