Well you are going to need to be there for a bloody long time !

Anyway this is in Newbury, West Berkshire which is virtually in WILTSHIRE. Would be perfect for anyone doing an Ironman in mid August !!!!

Oh FFS, Ade. We swop an 86 mile ride (the longest I'd have ever done) for a 127 mile ride. And it includes some of the same hills... going UP the fast blast I usually head down between The Milbury's pub and Beauworth and also going up Winchester Hill via Hayden Lane... my newest nemesis climb.

I really hope there is something else in my diary for that weekend. You are such a cock.

Come to think of it, I think this be my longest ride. But 1200m of climbing over 200km really isn't that bad and there doesn't look to be any real nasties.

I'm really not interested in times. I just want to get miles under my belt. It wont be your legs that give up it'll be your Alberts, shoulders or neck that will be the issue.

Anyway lots of cake stops, a bail out option, all is good.

I take it I can't talk you into a 5km brick ?

2800m of climbing Ade

Hmmmm

[Bendy Ben]

What the fuck have I just done

3 weeks before the ride London 100 so that'll be ok...... Won't it ?

Oh dear. Ade!! This is all your fault !!

[Tritans]

Excellent, you'll enjoy it.

4000ft = 1200m I hope

I'm still expecting at least one other entrant. Cough Ris cough.
