Thanks to everyone who gave money for this. It's a great cause for the
2nd highest killer in the UK.

The temperature was rediculously high so a particular mention goes to
the 10R rider who signed up on the day and did it in race leathers
carrying his lid.

This cold Stella tastes fucking amazing.

 

30C is hot? Pussy!

Fat Tire tastes good on a hot[1] day too.

[1] hotter than you'll ever see .

 

Well done, what was your time?

I've got this:

during the forthcoming week. Am hoping to beat three of my team that
I've cajoled to enter... Probably won't though they're all younger and
fitter than I.

 

37 mins. 10 mins slower than I've done in training but the heat was
something I'm not used to.

Heh, you say that but there were many young spunkers who flew off at
the start only the fade at the 2km mark. Hare / tortoise thingy.

"Old age and treachery will always defeat youth and skill"

 

No thanks, I'm knackered.

How hot? Where are you?

 

39C last week. About 45 miles south of San Francisco, CA.

 

I've noticed this, running in an air-conditioned Gym is a lot easier
than running outside in the heat.

I did about 3-3.5k around mid-day today (outside, in fields), it was a
lot harder than doing 8 in the Gym.

Well, I agree to *some* extent. I've ran with two out of three and I'm
pretty certain I can beat one of the two I've run with.

Of course, now they've had their annual reviews from their line managers
they probably don't have the motivation to lose that they once had...

 

well done. you will let me know how to pay wont you?

SWMBO and I did the Bay to Breakers this year. We gave up at 4 miles and
went to have breakfast in the Haight (The Pork Store). It was fun to
witness the 'event' first hand.

I've already pledged...its how I pay the amount I've said. nothing on
that page is obvious. it could be that they've already taken the money
or will take it automagically now he's done it.

Treadmill running is so different to road running. I was really
surprised. I was chatting with a chap on the way round and we both
agreed that aircon, music, TV and totty to look at was a much better
way to run.

Use the treachery thing.

 

bad form and all that..the help page for those being sponsored
includes a what's the difference between a pledge and donation..

"The ‘pay on completion’ option is a pledge. Although the donor enters
the full details of their debit or credit card, the payment is not
processed until after the participant’s event is completed – usually
two weeks after the event."

so it'll go out automagically.

Thanks. I plan to do something every second year. Currently trying to
decide what the next thing will be.

 

Wow!

My business partner's brother live in San Jose which I think is in that
neck of the woods. Can I come and stay?

 

Cool.
Only trouble is that since I did the pledge thingy I've had a new debit card
so it will probably bounce the transaction.

Any idea what happens in this situation?

If I need to , I'll drop a cheque in the post

 

Not a clue Alex. Probably they'll take away all your cards.

How far is that?

 

Sorry, 7 miles.
