Ok, well you all sound really well prepared. I'm beginning to get nervous thinking about it now. My first season of racing so this is the first big one (Tour De Gold and Amashovashova so far). I haven't put in nearly enough time, too much partying etc, but I guess I have a few years to get to your levels (and if I can stick to a guy like Old Timer when I'm 60 let alone 73 I'll be happy). But hoping for 3h30, perhaps 3h20. Got no group to work with (still get to start with plebs) so if there is wind I am toast. I don't have enough distance work in my legs though so I'm hoping that some goo etc should get me through the last 20 km's (got me through Amashova and T de Gold).
