Hi,
I'd be interested to see the routes as this is local, do you know when they will be up in the website?
Thanks0 -

+1 for this event, does anybody know anything about the company behind this ride?

I've just checked the website and the routes are up. The long route goes out towards Tutbury and Uttoxeter meaning that after some initial climbs over the chase you take on Marchington Cliff and Hanbury hill which are both short sharp pulls. You then head back towards the chase with a longer climb back to the finish.
The route looks OK and will be on some scenic roads, but there are a couple of stretches that are on pretty busy roads which could make it less fun.0 -

Hi,
All three rides are now viewable via http://www.cannockchase100.org.uk along with donwloadable GPX files. We carried out several route reccies prior to adding the routes to the website to make sure all the roads are suitable i.e. not too narrow or full of pot-holes. Each route includes lots of scenic stretches, climbs and descents. They'll be feed stations along the route and plenty of signage.
Gizmodo - great to hear you've already secured your place.
If you need any more info, check out the website or drop us a line. Look forward to seeing you on 15th July.0
