DON'T have a bath after a 100 mile ride. DON'T have a bath after a 100 mile ride. Now I know I wrote that twice but it is so important, it deserves repeating.
The muscles will have suffered some damage through strenuous activity, straining, tiredeness etc and they should be treated with COLD! Get a shower, NEVER a bath post-ride and as the shower is coming to an end, turn it as cold as possible (painful I know but get over it - the pleasure will come tomorrow with reduced/non-existant pain having treated it with cold water) to ensure heat isn't getting to the muscles. If heat does, any damage, microscopic muscle tears, fatigue etc will be magnified, the damage spreads and an extra 2/3 days to a week's pain, stiffness and discomfort will ensue.

Really looking forward to this now. I'm doing the 100km. It'll be my longest ever ride and nice to clock up a metric century.
Forecast looks perfect.
I'll be aiming to start about 8am, and i'd like to think 3.5hrs is do-able.

I'll try to keep my eye out for some of you.
We are planning on starting at 7:15-7:20. My mate has paid but I haven't.
I'm not sure whether I'll be riding solo (on my new bike) or riding together. He's struggling for fitness and will decide on the day.
I'll have 'Cycling Team Chadderton' and 'Macmillan Cancer' on the back of my shirt - so keep an eye out.
A mate of mine got his number this week - 1500ish, so there's plenty doing it. So....should be a nightmare for the first 20 miles or so........can't wait to get into the sportives!

cheers for those profiles fossy. Looks nice and flat complete to where i am.
Don't know that part of Manchester. What's best for parking? The event details just say Wythenshawe Park. Is it best to approach on the Wythenshaw Road side or Altrincham Road side?

I think I have too much food............
2 x bananas
1 x Malt loaf - squashed and divided in 4
4 x fig rolls
2 x Frusili Bars
So that's something to munch on every 10 miles
4 x SIS Gels
2 x litres of Isostar Energy Drink.......
Think I need a trailer

you've got me worried now!!
I'm planning on taking; one bottle of High 5 Energy source, one bottle of water, 2 bananas and an energy gel. The gel is only to be used if i'm desparate though. And i'll have a some toast in the morning too before i leave Bradford.
I think this is enough for the 100km no?
Looking at your lists i'm guessing your doing 100m.
