I've done 3. I did a Red Bull 24hr about 5 years ago, then I did the Bontrager 24/12 at the end of July this year, which was a washout.

This is the first time I've taken an endurance race seriously.

I was chatting with our A-team between laps. They were saying how they just you to race them for fun, but when they started to take care over getting the changeovers spot-on, and putting more effort into training, they started to get good results. For example, Fig Rolls racing came 6th in Sleepless last year, and 2 and 3rd (two teams) in the Bontrager 24/12 this year.

Does Easyjet charge for bike handling?

Yes. £20 each way, and that gets you a total luggage allowance of 32 kilos (normal allowance is 20 kilos). Anything over 32 kilos gets charged at £6 per kilo. We misread the insturctions and thought that we had 52 kilos in total (32 for the bike on top of the 20), but actually you only get 12kg for the bike,)

So after paying £60 quid in excess baggage charges, easyjet then go and cause £80 worth of damage to the bike.

Absolute cunts. Next time we go to the alps, we're taking the ferry and driving over.
