Who's doing the 2010 Cheshire Cat?

If they can guarantee Chatwins rather monstrous and highly nutritious pork pie.....
I dont know about anyone else but after 60+ miles, the thought of more stickysweet toothrot bars and such like whether they are made by SiS or Torq or whoever else just leaves me with visons of something savoury with HP brown sauce all over it.0 -
2,500 plus riders now......chaos.................... :shock:0
-
2,500 riders .....
Have done this the last couple of years and the locals don't seem to like it. They'll be proper
annoyed with that many riders.....
Looking forward to it. Like the profile this year. Hard work early, then should be a quick
final 110k.

The road out of Rushton Spencer is single track from the Macc/Leek road - gonna be fun getting a stack of cyclists over the main road and up the hill......0
-
2,500 down Broad lane in Holmes Chapel?!?!
Major Fail!
The road is singletrack for quite some way with no passing places. The edges of the road are completely shot to pieces too after the bad weather. I went down there yesterday on my MTB with my 3 yr old on the back. Bad enough with one bike when a car is coming!

Judging by number of unattached non-club riders on the Cheshire Cat entry list, there are lots of floating/solo riders in Warrington/Widnes/Knutsford/Frodsham North Cheshire area - if any of you want to join us, try riding with a new & friendly club, we'd make you welcome.

And I'm doing it as well ( one of the 17) ....I'm also wondering if the bottom half of my lungs are still on the pub wall at Mow Cop from this Sundays "ride" up it !?
probably the most enjoyable mile I have ever had on a bike.... :roll:
And before you start wrx.....I KNOW! :P0 -
I am entering this one, it will be my first sportive. I work 8/10 weekends so have been very limited with regards to what sportives I can enter. I am really looking forward to it especially as I will be fired up from my first cycling training camp (Snowdon) the week before it. Possibly doing my first ever TT the day before as well. I decided to be brave and go for the 100 mile option.Scott Addict R2 2010

I am signed up and was due to ride with a colleague from work, who unfortunately can't make it. I will be looking for encouragement to get me through the first 40 miles or so, having hardly been out since Xmas! Will you all be wearing your club jersey's and therefore recognisable, as a bit of a company would be good.
I'm heading out tomorrow to get some miles in my legs, so we'll see how I'm going to fair.0 -
Soooooooo,

Not yet...
Edit: Errr. make that a yes. Just arrived!0 -

Yep, look out for us in blue & yellow.
After the event, as you're in Warrington, we're now doing shorter Saturday runs from Winwick and longer Sunday runs from Stretton, so if you want to join us then just get in touch - details on website.
Good luck on Sunday !

Nice, Saturday registration. There's 30 more minutes to lie in.0
-
Better get you're waterproof jackets ready!
Andy_wrx, I'll look out for you, good to have a chat about coming along on one of your club rides.0 -
Are you really going to find 1 person in 3000 with `in yellow and blue' to go on?
0 -
I'm guessing not, but he may not want me too! For all I know he could be in red and black.
I'll just talk to anyone in yellow and blue

Ah but the cunning bit of info lies in the North Chesire Clarion weblink ( see below) as it has a screen shot of said yellow and blue jersey for ease of identification
See you on Sunday!0 -
Alright, I'll make it easier than 'in blue & yellow'
I don't actually look like our lovable prime minister and Pablo doesn't actually have a moustache, but feel free to talk to anyone wearing this
- there are now I think 18 of us riding (although if it's peeing down then we'll all be wearing waterproofs instead...)0 -
I might actually ride out to Mow Cop dressed as my namesake for a short while and shout out some encouragement...0
-
Why not pounce out in front of people with a video camera and ask them how they're feeling - oh hang on, someone's already done that !0
-
I like the jersey. I'll pay membership just to get one! Design now etched in memory (I feel like a stalker, albeit with the prey wishing to be caught.......I think)
Any chance of a tow / push up Mow Cap NapD? 0 -
A pal warned me that the roads between Rushton and Macclesfield are badly pot holed and to watch out on the descents, 'enough to take a wheel out' were his words.
Fingers crossed for some good weather!.

You should have looked yesterday when Met Check said 5 degrees and sleet/rain all day long.
Think I'll wait a couple more days before packing suncream...0 -
