Hi I have had my entry accepted through the ballot for this years six day.

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what clothing is best to wear?

Your help would be really helpful.

Something in xxxl size from an outdoor shop will suit you ,

make sure your b and b has decent drying facilities esp for boots and stuff..

Take a clothes airer with you. Have two showers every night after you finish, the first one with your gear on.

Buy some decent quality cycling waterproofs

You'll want a decent waterproof jacket, I bought a clice neoprene jacket mid week and was very very glad I did after using a tired jacket earlier in the week.

Waterproof trousers are necessary, either splash out and get some non tearing ones and have them over your boots or get a couple of cheap pairs and put them inside your boots and duc tape at the top of your boots.

Waterproof socks.

Get a neck warmer or two like the buff ones, very useful.

Get some heated grips fitted, that's one thing I really missed last year!

Get some goggles and experiment before hand with treating the surface so they don't mist up etc.

It's a good idea to plan ahead with your hotel/b+b about sorting your gear out after you get back so you are prepared and they know what's coming.

Good luck, I bet this year now I'm not riding it'll be red hot and next year when I ride it'll be peeing it down no doubt!
