Anyone doing it this year? I've not signed up yet, but I will be doing so soon. This will be my 7th time

 

[AndyRM]

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

First time for me, but there should be a load of us on the middle distance route!

Just signed up for this one, 1st time for me..

 

[Fnaar]

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

Just signed up for 104.... first time they've had helmets as compulsory... I'm not usually a helmet wearer...better wipe the dust off it

Make sure you get right under the rim.

[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.

 

[Fnaar]

If it still fits (will try it on later) I will be wearing my CycleChat jersey... come and say Hi if you spot me!

 

[Fnaar]

Quiet thread this year... good luck tomorrow to all taking part

 

[AndyRM]

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.

 

[Fnaar]

Good luck @AndyRM , hope it goes well

 

[Archie_tect]

Good luck today!

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 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?
