I'm nervous.
I get stressed easily, too easily actually.

I'm nervous for them, and for me going to meet them tomorrow, and I always get nervous before a ride, and I get nervous in meeting new people ........so I'm quadrulple nervous. :oops:
I'll be FAR better off when I leave tomorrow morning, so I could easily leave way too early and be sitting on the grass verge gazing into the distance for hours looking and hoping for the Wimps coming towards me.

What time are they leaving St Columb?
What time should I be leaving home?
How fast (or slow) will they be riding?
How fast (or slow) will I be riding to get to them?
What time will we meet?

Questions questions questions. :oops: :oops:






I feel better now that I've got that off my chest.

Dust off the RSW 16 and accompany them to JoG and back to Llandrindod, then you will be fit, tired, not nervous :wink:

Who doesn't!
I get wound up just before I do any exercise.
Will I be late
Will I be ok
Will I fit in..........not likely :lol:
Will I keep up...............why I am normally alone :?
Will I be slow again
Will I break down

All this goes away when I hit the first hill, get home feeling good.....................till next time :(

Started carrying a video camera (not a bike cam) after too many nasty car drivers and white man vans.
You only have to pull it out and it works wonders.

Don't worry...........................I have contracts that will need signatures :mrgreen:
