I have rode this ride many times in the past on either road bike or mountain bike but have yet to do it on my trike, must check when I have booked our annual holiday to Wales, would like to go on this ride though with the trike, always a very friendly ride with a great atmosphere, funny thing is I will have to travel from home near Newark to ride back again on trike then back to Nottingham on trike to pick up the van to drive back home again near to Newark, if that makes sense

i did it year before last on my trike, i got a medal i still wear it in the shower, had a good day and fast ride, up to about 40miles when the 50 joined up with the 18 mile all the kids loved the trike and it was nice to bimble a long.

Mrs A and I really fancy this. She is going to check her work schedule. I will almost certainly do it, on either two or three wheels.

I'm up for this, how many recumbent trikers/bikers are going?

i will be ok for this, as i am now bionic, i am thinking of putting ablest on the trike my friend is coming on his up wrong but will only enter the 18 so then he will do some laps of the lake until i get back from the 50

I have pencilled this in Wife thinks I am insane but nowt new there. Judging by past pictures helmets are optional is this correct.
I just need to get to Nottingham with Trike now. I am going for the 50 is that what others are doing

 

[markg0vbr]

i did not have a helmet on last time i did it.
the 50 for me it is a flat ride with plenty of cake stops

er it now says 58miles might have to put a tow rope on any passing trikes me being a week and feeble cripple

Due to unprecedented levels of interest in the ride this year we have had to introduce a cap on the number of entries we can take for each ride.

So if you've got friends and family looking to join you on the ride this year it is worth getting their entries in now to avoid missing out.

Go to www.greatnottsbikeride.com now to enter or find out more information.

just got this through, i am taking it with a pinch of salt, they might limit the 75 miler but the people on the 58 are so strung out there is no possible reason to limit the numbers.

 

[3tyretrackterry]

Have just checked i am registered though it was only 50 when i did they seem to have snuck an extra 8 in there

 

[markg0vbr]

dont know it is the first year they have run it we should be ok we can draft roger all the way round. i can play the cripple and get some df's to push me

 

[plantfit]

Does drafting work below 5 MPH?

yes with a bungee rope, just have two bowls of porridge. I will be taking it easy as it is a event ride rather than a race, i have only been doing 22mile rides in training but the hilliest way around eye of the tiger na na na.
the bike rite at Easter should give me some good rides , bricks in the panniers next de de de its the eye of the tiger don't think i can get the trike up them steps though.
