[Shaun]

I'm still waiting for the email - need two places as I'll be able to make it this year, and so will Trev.

Might not make it round the course mind you, but I'll turn up and have a go ...

I did the 160 last year, it is testing but fun, being with somebody else will help for the company.

Don't worry about Nunburnholme ... its Hanging Grimston thats the killer, it's grim and hanging's an option

Lots of hills in quick sucession in the midlle that nearly caught me a few times, just turned a corner & there's another one...

 

[Shaun]

Oh **** ... hills ... I don't do hills very well.

 

[craigwend]

Hills; 'are well easy'


here's a link to an older gentleman and friends climbing Nunburnholme

Is Arch attending this year or still climbingNunburnholme?

Ive had myself a couple of hanging grimstons before so i know what to expect, might be different with so many miles in my legs but.....

Which are the other big hills? or it it the quantity that gets you?

Just entered for the 100k. Tempted by the 160k but I think it would do me good to try for a fast time rather than distance. It'll be a nice incentive for Admin. He wouldn't want to be beaten by a girl .

 

[Arch]

Yes! Been keeping half a mind on it, but wasn't sure registration was open. Will do it now. 100k I think. I'd like to say I'll keep Helen company, but I suspect you'll leave me behind...

Yay! We've both done a lot of cycling since last time so it will be interesting to see how we get on. I know I said I was going for a time, but it was the company that made it fun last time so hopefully you, me, Admin and Trev can stay together.

If your trike will fit in the back of my car I'll give you a lift.

 

[Arch]

I'm in. 100k. Just need to actually go some decent cycling now.

Mind you, I'm down for a night ride to Tan Hill at the start of July, that might get me moving a bit.

Just been informed by my father that were doing the rydale rumble the week after and the york 100 week after that!
