Today was the day the lucky (or unlucky) rider list was announced. Apparently, its always over subscribed so its a lottery for the 1000 places. I woke to a text from my mate to say he had got a place as had Ed but I wasn't on the list. I sent the entries together so we would all get in or none of us would get it so it was odd.
I was also slightly distracted as it was my youngest daughters first day at school today so the Fred was not that important.
Once I got her to school, I went back to thinking about the Fred. The more I thought about it, the more I realised I really wanted to do it and that I couldn't stand Ed and Clive going on about it once they got back. So I emailed the organiser and waited.
Thankfully, I got an email a couple of hours later telling me it was a mistake and I was in. Great news........I think.

Best of luck mate - I checked the website today too to discover the "good" news.
Just starting now to think of the training miles ahead.
Fred's my local event, so I picked it as my debut for my attempt to return to regular cycling this year!
Good luck with the training. I guess you have done it before. Any advice other than lots of training with lots of hills?
