4th for me!
 
Doing the 6-bridges 15 miler with the kids n mrs T coming along.
Might see if the 63 miler us a doer for me tho.
Done the 63 twice myself and the 33 twice with the kids.
The 2nd 62 I did was supposed to be the 104 but riding with my BIL and FIL the average was 10mph so I feigned tiredness and cut out to the 63, they got home at 9:25 pm - I had a life

Haven't signed up yet but will do so soon, doing the 100+ one. As put above, this is my 7th one, and it's always been a great day, well organised, fantastic route with some nice challenging hills

[QUOTE 3109816, member: 259"]That's a terrible shame.[/QUOTE]
Insurance requirement, apparently... I just find them a bit uncomfortable, so usually don't wear, but never mind... looking forward to the ride anyway... although bike in LBS getting new chain, cassette, big chainring... all a bit knackered.

It is indeed! I've managed to sort the issues with (one of) my bikes so I should be able to haul myself around the 100km route.

I'll look out for your shiny purple helmet @Fnaar.

Another year, another Cyclone disaster. Back of my legs started burning after about 10 miles so I did the little route. Medic dudes at the end reckon I've got tendonitis :sad: Although I was first back with a guy I met called Raymond!

Still, 40 ish miles out on the bike in the sun. Can't complain too much!

How did you get on @Fnaar?
