Just looked at the BBC weather (for Princes Risborough/Wantage/Wallingford/Marlborough) and they all say sunny on Saturday with a clear sky on Saturday night.

Having (probably unfairly) blamed the storm for my downfall last year, I'm starting to relax a little...

I'm really quite jealous of you all. Have a great race, hope there are no nasty storms this year...

Good news on the weather front Jen.

I seem to remember you passing us and finishing last year Jen. It is me that uses the storm as an excuse for my downfall last year! See you at the start. Are we all doing the 12am start?

Goring is not quite half way? Seem to remember it was getting dark as we approached it (from a 10am start) and dark when we left. Makes it about 9pm? The CP is a hall on the T junction at East side of the long bridge.

Technically Jen, we're both doing the 12 noon start :-p back :-) But I agree, common usage is with it being 12pm. :-(

ahh. If it was during the day I would have been able to pop up and cheer folk through, but I'm afraid that gallavanting around posh villages late at night isn't quite doable at the moment!

Good luck everyone, hope you enjoy it and run strong!
