The Gridiron 100k, New Forest, Sunday Oct 14th

[Baggy]

The start is very confusing, as Boldre Memorial Hall isn't in Boldre at all, but in Pilley - obvious when you think about it.

Chuffy looked up directions to the Memorial Hall and then confidently drove to New MiltonThat's what happens when you fail to print off the instructions.

He did stop, but I had to ask! First person we asked kindly gave us very clear directions...to New Milton Memorial Hall.

12 years later...is anyone else doing this on Sunday? I've signed up. Would be nice to see a familiar face.*

* Although clearly no faces here are familiar except a few!

Dunno, but I can confidently predict that Baggy won't be there. I did it myself a few years ago. Watch out for unpredictable riders, especially when approaching the cattle grids.

Thoroughly enjoyed the event today! Lovely route, excellent check points! For £12.50 I got a ride, 3 x tea, biscuits, a musette, a buff, a casquette and a wooden medal. Delighted!
