    The distance is approx.

    Start time for the 50 mile ride is 07.00 to 10.00

    I am doing the 50 mile ride, it is the chance to enjoy a ride out on a sunday morning and at the same time raise funds for a very good cause. :D

    I know it says registration is from 7:00 till 10:00 but it doesnt mention anywhere what time the majority will be leaving?
  • I am doing the 50 mile ride on Sunday.

    Im gonna be leaving at 7 I think as Im guessing more people will be leaving at that time so there will be plenty of chances to find a group that is riding at my pace. Plus I figured if I leve the earliest possible and cant keep up with the group I start with, I know there are gonna be some other groups behind

    I take it you can start at anytime between 7 and 10 ?

    With registrations to be done, I doubt anyone will actually be leaving at 7.

    I will try to start about 8ish, 7 sounds a bit early to me, should be good, hope the weather is a bit better by sunday.
  • Yeah its staggered starts between 7 and 10.

    I also hope the weather is better as its gonna be a long 50 miles if its pouring down
