CC Ecosse (East Central) post-Freeze RV Ride 10/1A

I'd be interested in doing this.

I would imagine that it's designed more for road bikes though?

Yes, I looked at doing this one, but I have a romantic weekend in York booked. I do not think my wife would be too impressed if I called off at this stage.

Not really - it's an audax and can be ridden on any type of bike you like ..... as long as you can meet the maximum/minimum speed limits. Remember that the clock is running all the time, so if you stop, the clock is still going = your avg speed will be decreasing.

There are 2 (extreme) models:
- ride hard and fast, take a leisurely stop, enjoy the food, company etc, then ride hard and fast again to 'make up' time, thus finishing within the time limit.

- take it steady, ride at a leisurely pace BUT DON'T STOP, thereby keeping your avg speed within limits.

Have a look at the event, check the max/min speeds and guestimate if you can finish within the time.

I would be surprised if you were going to be too slow
