Don't know... maybe if I join a cycling club, which is unlikely. As time progresses, I more and more fall into the camp of old lady who likes to go out on her bike. Maybe I will be a real cyclist when I become a leathery octagenarian trundling up the Surrey hills on an ancient bike?

Yes - did a recce on Wed. Trouble is that I spend most of my time on the aerobars (even on the road bike), as I am a bit lazy, and it's a nice place to have a bit of a lie down... but there are definitely quite a lot of out of the saddle efforts on the course.
Life was much simpler when I had one bike with one set of wheels!
