    elPedro666 - yes, I'm doing a circular route, Hove to Hove.

    DW - nope, on a hybrid. Large wheels. Not racing position. Happy lady.

    Long rides - some. I'll find out if its enough on 28th! :shock:

    Tch yeah :shock: Fair play, indeed.

    Is there a time limit? I suspect I could manage 60 miles if I had aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall day and lots of breaks (and there weren't too many climbs :lol: )

    thank you chaps :D

    well, it kicks off at 8am and i reckon i should be able to do it in 5 hours... I think the course is open all day, as some of the people are doing tandem rides with service users of the charities that are benefiting from it.

    there will be some climbs - unavoidable in the Brighton area! i aim NOT to get off and push, but we'll see :wink:

    i do have rather strong quads and hams (go on, give 'em a squeeze!) so that will help :D

    i am starting to get a bit :shock: about it now though.....

    hmmmmmm.................

    You'll rock it :D I'm kind of jealous, actually. The triathlon I like to do was too close to the wedding (the weekend before) so I didn't enter this year and never got my ass in gear to enter anything else.


    I'm guessing you've been practicing with in-ride fuelling...


    Right? :?
