Helen
Have you entered for this yet?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Nope, I don't seem to be getting round to it. I'm hoping there's no max number of riders but you're right, I must get on with it!

Right that's me entered now.

Glad we did pre enter as registration is now closed as they have a full quota.

I note that registration is between 05:30 and 09:00 hrs. What time is everyone planning to start ?

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yes, I was speaking to an acquaintance today who's done the ride multiple times and was planning to do it this year... until he saw that. He said it's a wonderful ride and very flat and that one gets a fairly generous wait for the ferry.

I'm doing a ride beforehand, plus doing something in the evening, so don't think I want to start much before 8am but could vary that a bit I suppose. I expect only to do the fifty miler.

Is it only the three of us from Cycle Chat doing this ride? I was looking forward to riding with a nice big bunch of CCer's

No, I have not ridden it on the road yet . Front brake came while I was away so will get that fitted tonight along with some spd's and depending on the weather hope to ride to work tomorrow .

 

[Auntie Helen]

Welcome back Stevevw!

Yes, I thought more people might do it from CC, but it appears not. Perhaps we will strike up some new acquaintances, however, whom we can lure to the Dark Side.

How does one enter?

 

[stevevw]

I think you will find that entries are all taken now. Nothing stopping you or any others to go for a ride that just so happens to be the same route as 400+ others
