Having seen the time that the ride closes (5pm) I have changed to the Medio as I'm probably too slow to get round the Gran Fondo in time. I based this on the time it took me to do the Tour of Pembrokeshire 75 mile route last weekend which is similar to the Medio.
I am not going for a 'time' this year, so if any other medios want to set off 9 ish, it would be good to get a cca (2nd)? train going off together, following the express starting a bit earlier
Thinking slow up the hills, keep it together and get a tug off some other riders...
Andrew, I am definately not riding this on Sunday. (I have to do stuff at home). My place is yours if you want it. I'll whisper my phone number (log onto The Forum).
It's a great ride, I'm very sad not to be doing it.
Lost track of who is actually riding the Gran Fondo this year. Last year we set off at 8 I think. If not many of us doing it I am inclined to join the 09:00 Medio start and ride the first part together until the split. Anyone else riding the Grand Fondo?
I am in for the Gran Fondo. Not sure the option to start with the medio is on offer. I would favour and early start. Looks like the wind might be quite strong and from the east so I would prefer to get the first bit going east done before it gets too strong.
Will go with what ever the majority are doing though.
I'm doing the Fondo route as well and was thinking of starting a 8:00, although I will be at the car park well before that so can start when ever it suits everyone.
I have just checked the Chiltern Hundred site and the Fondo starts between 7:45 and 8:40 and the Medio starts between 8:50 to 9:20.
The two start times do not overlap so it looks like there is not an option to start with Medio group
Good luck tmw. My lads birthday making time for him rather than me...
for a change! My entry is free to a good rider who'll get me a better time!
Really... free for anyone.
Mark was planning to leave mine at 0630 to drive over to Petes, hes driving from there. so say 06:25 at mine to load the bike will whisper address Stef
I am in and plan to start at 8 but doubt very much if I will be able to keep up with you boys so will just tag onto a slower group that will get me to the finish.

he was going to wait outside then 'join' in

I was wondering if you managed to contact eddie at Chiltern100 to confirm me as replacement yet?
thanks
Let me know if you fancy it and I will give you Eddie the organiser's email
