Up north..100 mile ride to the coast and back

[ColinJ]

Has the Waddington Ride on 20th got it's own thread? Or will it be tacked onto the "Forum ride from Hebden Bridge to Waddington, Sun 27 th Feb (And back!!) " Thread.
Only ask so can confirm start times and expected route etc. etc.

Oh, have we forgotten to do that? I'll start it later this afternoon, then!

PS The new Waddington ride thread is here.

Put me down as a maybe, really fancy this one as it's so different. My attendance depends entirely on the state of my dissertation and fitness.

Well, Shaun owns the first post of this thread so he can keep track of who is coming there! It's no use me trying elsewhere because a lot of you guys only read the first and most recent posts! (Mutter, moan, whinge ...)

Get stuck in on your dissertation - you've got 2 weeks!

As for fitness - it's basically a 90 mile tootle with about 10 miles of moderate hills. I think that the forum ride we did last weekend was probably at least as hard as this century will feel, providing that we don't have nightmare weather conditions for it!

Did you recover in time to do the event and if so, how did it go?

You might want to take a look at this migraine thread to see if you can spot anything that might have triggered yours.

I think Shaun still has a migraine otherwise he'd collate the information...
What do ya mean, you're not ready - you romped through a longer, harder ride a few weeks ago!

I see! Oh, and that's fixed too, isn't it? Yes, that could well be a testing day for you even with the relatively flat route profile.

if you want, you can park at my house and cycle over to the start and back together for moral support.
