Notice that if anyone has to drop out I would happily buy their ticket (plus a drink)

    Just over three weeks to go to this. I've been signed up for months, but beginning to wonder just how well supported this event is going to be. I don't see much discussion of it here or elsewhere.

    There's also no detailed route info/elevation profile either. It has been promised that it will be sent out two weeks before the event. Not ideal.

    Anybody else signed up for the 115 mile?

    i got an email saying that close to selling out, sign up soon ... but that may be hype advertising.

    was considering it, but put off by lack of route/elevation and that for £28 you get a few gels and some powered drink. paying same amount for an action medical research ride, which are typically fantastically organised with interesting -- and challenging -- routes.

    I got an email after signing on to it - there are 3 food stations and the elevation is big with Box Hill, North Downs and the chilterns thrown in...worth a go

    There is now an elevation profile on their website:

    that actually isn't much climbing for the length of the ride ... am surprised but may be due to the looping around windsor / dorney, which is really flat. .
