The 2012 Outlaw Bike Feedstation/Support Thread

I just got Iron War from the library. Read it last night while some girls fell over and grown men shouted and then cried.

Good so far

if it stays like this i will be taking the electric blanket as my heater is down the caravan............the electric hookup was needed to keep the mobile charged up and the beer cold in the fridge

not long to go .must go and find my camping list for 2 weeks ago..........the tent didn't even make it back into the attic

ahhhh.... mobile charging  Forgot all about rubbish logistics like this when in a tent!!

For those who have camped before... just how far is the camping area from transition?

About 400 metres from camping to transition, (closer than the event car park to transition!)  close enough to forget plenty of stuff and have 3 mad dashes back to your tent.

I'm deffo not camping Thorntons or not. Moving house on Friday/Sat moring so no way will I have the energy to put a tent up or even be organised or arsed to get all the camping stuff packed in the car.  See you at Swans Saturday evening. Got to get back to packing now.

You're my Landlady

Rent is 20 boxes of Thortons per night 

Tbh if I wasn't skint i'd be going to a hotel.  Just keeping fingers crossed it is at least dry when I put up the tent, after that, it doesn't matter so much.  Well, other than being shite, but at least we'll have somewhere dry to hide

400m is brilliant  Short enough to run and get the beers out of the coolbox straight after finishing and getting back to the finish line!!

while we're on this point - GB, thanks for hanging around in transition last year at IMW while i had to do a mad dash back for my wetsuit 

GB - if you can run from the finish line to your coolbox you clearly won't have tried hard enough on the run

I hope the Thornton's of which you speak aren't those cheap boxes you can get in supermarkets  

continental for me thanks 

Lots of cake at the hotel courtesy of "The Bitch"

No I'm not   I am in the one with the cake

There does seem to be an awful lot of talk about Thornton's that may not even exist

What mile on the course is the pirate feed station (sorry, I'm sure the info is in the thread somewhere but haven't time to trawl!)

... and is there anyone in particular I should lob my water bottle at .. I'll take requests
