Got a feeling this one is in my diary as a January warm up. Done it as a perm and it is definitely pretty flat, although you may not think that when heading to Delamere. Seem to remember the route being quiet lanes after Ellesmere, so could be a touch slippy.
Might even stay on the same routesheet as you this time

Come on. It's only a short one!
Anyway, I'm after completing a century a month in 2013 and really want to do an SR in prep for LEL. However, if the weather is very wet on the day I will not be doing it as will be using the naked road bike (audax bike due Spring). Cold I can do but not cold and very wet at the same time

I haven't entered yet but I'm intending to.
January seems a long way off; I'm more concerned about next weekend's Winter Solstice.

For obvious (poor health) reasons, I won't be doing A Mere 200 in 2013, but I did ride it back in 2007.
My riding partner and I had the south-westerly headwind-from-hell for the first 100 km or so to Ellesmere which was 'a tad demoralising', but overall I thought it was a good route for that early in the year.
Have fun!

I should be doing this, all being well. It is a flat route and I prefer some hills (even though I'm hopeless at them) but it'll be good to be out.

A bit too early in the year for me. I'm looking at the Mam Tor 200 and Chirk 200 in March as my first long rides.

Entry in the post this morning
I posted mine off yesterday.
Today, I struggled round the Winter Solstice.
It wasn't pretty but I got round in time.

Yeah! This was looking less and less likely for me due to work and family stuff at the end of January but a colleague has now offered to work the problem shift for me so I am currently filling in my application form. My first calendar event. Really looking forward to it.
