Yup, I'll be there. I'm going to cycle over in the morning about 8am arrival. I'll be on a black On-One Parkwood in a white/blue Bianchi jersey. Say hello.

Won't be going crazy out there, will be a long day in the saddle.

I'll keep an eye out! I'm doing the 110km, did 140 last time and its a bit far for my knackered hips and its up to 160km this year.

160km here. As you may have gathered from other threads, i'm fairly local. 90% of the route is stuff i'd often ride in a regular weekend jaunt, although the distance is longer than we'd usually ride of course. Will be out with a mate and taking it easy to an extent. He's pushing 60 next year so we're hardly on the XC whippet status 🙂

I'm just hoping they've not closed up and gone home by the time we get back 🙂

I've put the GPX into Viewranger and seems to be 98.5 miles.... i'm not having that... No way am i doing 98.5 miles and not doing the 100. So need a plan to make up the last bit.

Realistically that means cycling over to there which will give me about 4.5 miles i rekon. But then i need to get home after which will mean a big climb !

If you see a bloke in pink sweary socks and a pukka pies top ask for a lift home!
