Ride 24 - 2010 version

Hi guys,
I just got an email from the Ride 24 people who run the race I competed in last month. Entries are open for 2010, so if you want to get a SCR team together, now's the time to start thinking about it...

Yes, good point.

Also, what's the deal with it? You have to raise cash for their charity to get a place?
It does seem a bit boring though, going round and round and round and round a track.
Was it boring?
So in some objective sense it was boring, in reality it kind of wasn't because you're at the full extent of your capabilities whenever you're riding.
Also, free massages!

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 Game
Anyway - I too rode this race this year - was asked by a guy in my cycling club if anyone wanted to join a team from his wife's company.
Stupidly said yes, then realised that we were the company's "serious" team - one 2nd Cat racer, a guy who does marathons and enduro XC for fun, another guy who rides on and off-road plenty, and me - been taking the riding seriously since I joined RCC in January - shed over 2 stone, but still, ahem, fuller-figured...
So, as Biondino said - it was pretty tough in places, and essentially worked out as 1hr-ish chaingangs if you could hang on.
We were fortunate enough to get into a good rhythm of coming out and getting straight onto the wheels of the fast group, and managed to bring it home 2nd overall.
Was gob-smacked frankly - my only other race prior to that was a 10 lap hare&hounds at Palmer Park where all I managed to do was blow up and ride round high on the banking out of everyone's way, before plunging back down and into the back of a guy taking us both out!
But anyway - if I can't get a team together from Reading CC (or my work place) I'll happily tag onto a team from here!
And regards the forum - Thanks for having me. Mine's a bitter, ta!
