Anyone riding this who is new to Sportives or inexperienced enough to want to form a group ? It's my second Sportive over this distaince and was wondering if anyone was looking to form a group to ride round ? I have to do 60 mile rather than 100 as I have time constraints but will be setting off around 8-45-9-00......post here and let me know

    Hi Dave. I'm registered for the 60 too. I hope we get better weather than the folks who went up the Cat last w/e. No idea how many folks might be there but for info I'll be the bloke on the Monday's Child. Hope you have a good ride if I don't see you on the day, all the best.

    I'm debating as a lot of the ride we visit on our Club Ride W/Ton Wheelers, so is there much to gain?

    Brilliant day out capped by the glorious weather. Little hillier (especially at the end) than expected and WTF was that hill about 25 miles in ? Didn't see anyone ride up as there was no traction at the bottom and saw three folk come off trying to get up ! Very slippy and as soon as you stood up out went the bike.

    I unclipped and walked (which killed). There was a guy infront of me who was a Sigma chap helping his mate out on the day and I was so pleased when he had to get off and walk as well.

    All in all a great day out and be doing this one again next year
