It certainly wasn't sunny in Shields this morning - I got utterly soaked and wind blasted on my LSR.

Mick the Slug - I emailed about the training events and haven't heard anything back. You know when it's on?

Hi Phil, Welcome to Fetch :-)

It's impossible to be on your own at the GNR! The support is amazing the whole length of the route.

My training's been a bit rubbish over the last few weeks but now the weather's gone a bit cooler I'll hopefully be able to get enough miles in over the next month.

Hi Phil,

training going as well as possible (for now) - only thing that is concerning me is the inevitable congestion at the start

Sorry funky alchemist only just seen your message.
This morning: 11am start.

Think its just a one off now. Last year had 5 sessions of training led by coaches but methinks the recession has hit the GNR

Meh. No problem - Thanks to the marketing and organisational geniuses Nike and Powerade have hired I filled my Sunday morning with odd jobs like fitting a curtain rail instead.

DIY as cross training.
