I'm thinking of doing this, but I've got several clashes on that day all of which I'd like to do:
1) WKRC RR
2) Spoco SE lunch & prize presentation
3) Offroading with Marco
4) Staying warm under the duvet

Looks pretty good, i think i'll be up for this at a steady-ish pace. If i do it i'll definitely be riding over there so can arrange to meet up at CSS or GBs etc.

I've done it in the past and it's a nice route. Be warned that there are a couple of tricycle clubs over that way, and if you go up hills like me then towards the end you have the pleasure of weaving up a steep hill whilst a balding grey haired chap of 60+ rides straight by on a trike as if it was a mere speedbump.

I will probably come over and do this one. I will be driving over, what time is the ACC massif going to set off?

Cheers

If I get up, I'd guess I'd be at the roundabout before Coney Hall on the (A232) around 8.00.

Hi Ben,

Is that the roundabout at the bottom of Corkscrew Hill or Glebe Way (or maybe neither)?
