    Great Dunfell George at 100miles - hard to forget. Now that was a hard day out Nick and more miserable weather. Worth it for that final climb when the sun cmae out briefly.

    Oh, aye? What's this? If it's not on cyclepaths I might be tempted out of PfS retirement. Do you have a link, Andy?

  • My calender so far is:

    14/3 Jodrell Bank
    28/3 Milton Keynes Codebreaker
    11/4 Essex Roads Spring Lambs
    16/5 Midland Monster -as a helper
    23/5 Pearson 150
    4/7 1066 Ride
    11/7 Bike Radar

    This leaves a few old favourites to book such as Tour of Black Mountains, New Forest Rattler,Autumn Epic and finally Exmoor Beast. Nothing yet planned for June, so anywhere that has a spare slot i am up for it.

    Going to Almeria in the middle of Feb for 5 days - and will definitely be doing the Anthony Maynard Sportive. Will almost certainly be doing the Action Medical Research Ride 24 again (we came 2nd last year so have to at least try and go one better...)

    Other than that - haven't looked to be honest - I should though, but I'm hoping to concentrate on 10 mile tests and see what Sportives I can fit in... May try the Chiltern 100 again though to see how much I've come on since last year... may even manage a medal this time...!
    Cannondale Synapse 105, Giant Defy 3, Giant Omnium, Giant Trance X2, EMC R1.0, Ridgeback Platinum, On One Il Pompino...

  • How about travelling to the South West for the Tour Ride on 5th September? I’m entering a team from our local club in the Axe Valley, Devon. It looks as if it’s going to be a good route for those who like to test their legs on some hills. I’ll let you have the full stats as soon as I hear them as I’m helping to promote the ride for The Prostate Cancer Charity.
