Snow Roads 300k Audax 2013

[eck]

Right folks, more than six months to go, and we got our 43rd entry today!

There's a lot more interest from local clubs this year, and I've increased the maximum field to 80. I know it's a long way off but I wouldn't like any audax regulars to miss out so get you entries in before this year's entertainment is shown on the telly.

When's it on the telly ?

Will it cost more to be mixing with TV stars/ slebrites ?

Oooh, thank you for the heads up.. if my boyfriend is allowed to have already entered his big event for next year, so am I

I quite fancy doing this Noodley. However I'm also planning to do the Mallorca 312 which is on the 27th April.

 

[Noodley]

Plenty recovery time then...a whole month between them!
I have a 400km planned for 2 weeks before the Snow Roads and expect to be fully recovered by then...and a 600km 2 weeks after it...and I'm an unfit bloater!

Come on, you know it makes sense!

 

[Nebulous]

Woo hoo - I've entered. That's amazing for me. I don't even know where I'll be cycling this Saturday, never mind the 25th of May. I made a half-hearted enquiry very late this year, but I'm definitely on for next year. I'm seriously considering LEL, so this will be part of my build-up.

Too tough for me as it would be my first attempt at a 300.

 

[Philip Whiteman]

I've finally bit the bullet. I'm in.

You'd be fine banj, you know how unfit I am and I have ridden it a few times. I have only had hypothermia the once during a June attempt. I am no where near fit enough to ride it just now, but I'll be fine by May. As will you!

It was my first 300 as well, a couple of years ago.

• I was fortunate to have a 'domestique' to assist me round - until something happened to him
• he kindly passed me on to another domestique, and something happened to him a few kms down the road too ...

Realising there was a trend here , I had to finish on my own - but finish I did.

It is a fabulous ride, with a few lumpy bits - and, as long as you know there are only 'a few' - you'll be fine.

Noodles has done it so many times, he doesn't need a Route sheet (but, if you start riding with him ... make sure you have one )

You'll have plenty of chances more locally to 'train' for the Snow Roads at the end of May. In April there are the (i) Heart of England 300 will be in your territory and comparative with the Snow Roads for difficulty, The Elenith.

 

[fimm]

I'm in. Not 100% sure I will do it because it is a month after the London Marathon... but if my foot doesn't get better I will be deferring the marathon place and I really want to do the Snow Roads sometime.

Right, ditherers. With 80 entries as of today, the event is now technically full. On the assumption that there will be some withdrawals before next May, I will take a few more entries. But if you want to enter, enter now.
