Mad March Hare Sportive - Sunday 6th March 2011

pprince

ok its MMH time again and I'm promising riders another great event for its 3rd edition

the updated website is up and running
http://www.madmarchharesportive.co.uk/index.php

sat nav files, route card etc still to be done but the route (subject to minor changes possibly) is up and available

the route has a signature climb again. 2011 goes up Dovers Hill which hosts the National Hill Climb champs this year. Its quite short but is steep and will be a stern test for the fittest riders in March!

entries were going to be opened on Jan 1st but I may now open them next week due to calls and questions about the event - I think it will fill fast so keep an eye out.
...and I've kept the entry fee at a recession-busting £10 again! MAD!

If you do Facebook, the event has a page on there now too where all up to the minute news on the MMH will appear as it happens. Get on there and signed up!

As ever comments, suggestions appreciated, I run this event for the riders not for me

regards

Paul Prince

For once it doesn't clash with the Mad March audaxes

There is a 100 and 200km version on the 11th of March next year

That's a not amillion miles away for me.

Quite early in the season though for a lazy git like me - is it 100K? I can't find the distance on the site.

Sorry! Just seen the route section.

I give halfwits a bad name.

i'm just doing final tests on new entry payment gateway which will allow multiple entries to be paid for in one go

had a good chat with my landlord today.

Redevelopment behind my shop starts next week and he is confident when the 3 BIG chicken sheds are gone, there will be open, bare, concrete bases to park cars on.

bottom line, more entries are likely and a big step closer
