New Forest Road Challenge on Sunday. Blondie, Attica, Linsen (back permitting) and I in attendance, It's supposed to be a fairly quiet sportive and not as "climby" as many. Come on DDD you know you want to.
What distance? What's the elevation?
I checked the website and they said that registration date past on the 30th June.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Also, having been on a lovely 100k-er round the New Forest a few weeks ago, it's just a lovely place to ride.0

Why not sign up for a sportive this year?
It's mainly logistics and the fact that I have such a large tribe........personally I'd have no problem dumping the bike in the back or the car or on a train to get round to a few but I think "her in doors" would take exception ;-)
If I start sounding her out for some next year I can at least get sometime to stockpile the brownie points :-D
ITB - I'd have to agree that team SCR would be a force to be reckoned with, I reckon with JG and CJ we have the polka dot jersey safe and I'm sure the green one would be happily contested!0 -

Kind words indeed, sir, but they ring true much more for JG; I'm quickly slipping down the Box Hill rankings and haven't yet beaten by PB
A Team SCR would be a good bit of fun though.FCN 2-4.
