Don't think so Paul, it wasn't last year, you picked up a route card at the sign on.
Loads do it though so should be able to stay with a group that knows the way.
On the other hand you did it at about new year with Huw, Amy, and John Leitch and Co. so you can lead the way. :D

Forgotten the route, but managed to dry out the soggy route card so might do the route before the ride to refresh my memory, theres plenty of twists and turns.

I can't be chuffed to read all the small print - but is this ride open to all or do you gots to fit mudguards and squeeze a beard out in 2 weeks?

Ian you're definately need a beard (not necasserily one you've grown yourself though), tweed plus fours and a bobble hat, preferably one your mum knitted for you and some nice sensible shoes. You could then complete the look with a wicker basket gaffer taped to your bars with a small dog to put in it.

I turned up last year expecting to see panniers, chunky tyres, and beards all round. Instead got a load of racers on lightweight machines who set off up Ranmore like it was the Mertsham drag. :)

You don't need to be a CTC member Ian, just bring £3 for your entry.

Does anyone fancy meeting at CSS and riding over together?

8:30 leave CSS?
