so have I got this right... Dave is doing Brentwood and Granty is doing Bath?


Well, I've run Bath before so my money is on Dave

...sorry Granty (btw...just in case you didn't know, Bath has a whole load of road works and some road closures starting today, expected to last for 10 weeks...hopefully the organisers know about this too)

I'm sure Bath is a lovely race, I reckon that you and Trinity have ganged up, playing the 'Wenger' game

What time did you do 13 miles on Sunday Dave ? - need to know what sort of time I need to be aiming for!

Glad to see you're both up for the challenge!
2 weeks to go to race day so don't pick up any injuries.


I'm waiting to see who comes in with the first pre race excuse.....!
