I'm game, but after tonights pathetic 13 miles, I might struggle to be any speed.

Don't worry, after my 100 miles today, this isnt going to be a sprint. Velocidad had to fair drag me up the hills & along the flat I was really off form. I think we normally average about 12 - 13mph on the ton rides & with more day light we can take it easy

I'll see what I can do Solty, I've got a few weeks prep!!

 

[colly]

So have you got the advanced weather forecast then? Going to be icy again so late in the year?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Can you PM me the route Solty, so I can do a bit of a recce?

 

[marinyork]

Yes, I'd be interested and it's at the right end of the month. I'm still a bit worried about talk of 13mph for the whole hundred though.

Don't worry, I WON'T be doing that. I'll hold your hand(lebar) and do a more gentlemanly pace.

Might be up for this .... <you can't see my nervous look, can you?>

I'm only just getting back into it after a good few months lay-off, so I'll see how next Sunday's York 50 goes.

My first 100 attempt ended at 94 miles with a blow knee and a call to my brother to pick me and the bike up (20 miles short of home - so don't let me plan the route ... ).

However, I know group rides can sort of pull you along, so it may be the ideal second 100 attempt.

Cheers,
Shaun

We are not going to race off at '13mph' We will be going at a speed the whole group is comfortable with & we won't leave anyone behind. It's not a race, just a gentle ride out

I'll get the route done & posted after work today

I wsn't going to mention the weather, but it looks like you've put the curse on us now
My forecast for 26th April
snow/ice 10%
strong winds 60%
showers 80%
heavy rain 50%

Well I am organising it after all, so I doubt it will be lovely

If you're doing one of these a month I might be in shape to join you later in the year, fingers crossed. I might wait until August so there's guaranteed to be no ice!

has to be said that it is usually the other way around, with me tucked in behind solty, trying to get an easier ride
i'd be keen to tag along on this ride!

cheers, velocidad.

I'll probably be burnt out by August
Hoping to plan another shorter ride soon too. Maybe have an ice-cream run upto Hornsea again
