cheers guys thats really helpful. It looks pretty steady then looks as if it gets a fair bit steeper half way up, but at least this time it's just a constant climb!
The signing on is at the village hall in Streatley. Those involved could ride over, i think its about 22 miles away so would probably need to leave the Tuns by 8.30? I will probably drive over and i think Stef is as well as he needs to get away afterwards.
I will ride over if it's not due to rain, so will decide when seeing the forecast the day before.
I'll be coming from Great Chishill, so if people are riding over it would be easier for me to join the group after Baldock somewhere depending on the route taken, if a group is going please kindly post the route.
Or if no one else is doing it, and it's not due to rain, i can meet you somewhere Nathaniel.
Start sheet as follows, sorry about the format, forum doesn't like tables! Phil, you don't appear to be on there, but just take a number at the end when you sign on. Wont be a problem

Not sure I can ride tomorrow, but if so, we might get a club ride out to support you ... and to bring home any hill-climbers who didn't take cars to Sharpenhoe
Sharpenhoe Clappers is exactly 20 miles from Ashwell via Hinxworth, Henlow, Shillington, Hexton, Streatley. With a 9am start, you should get to the hill climb finish line before the action starts at 10.31am...
Good call Jane...I spoke to Tim earlier and said I would do a club run out there...beat me to it so see you all tomorrow.....if we leave sharp at 9 we should be there in time for the start....we can watch and cheer them on...have a tea and cake then cycle back

This would leave the final standings for the 2012 competition as follows: Beds Road CC - 520 CC Ashwell - 443
Hitchin Nomads CC - 384 Icknield RC -101 These are currently provisional totals. Well done to all competitors and thanks to all those who contribute behind the scenes to make these events a success.
Well done CCA. Great ride Cam. Sorry about my effort
Thanks to everyone whose taken part in the series. We won 1 round this year and finish second to BRCC. A lot of people have said how CCA's participation has reinvigorated a fading series and we should be pleased with our efforts and conduct this year.
Enjoyed that, the hill was a great example of pacing yourself so you don't blow out on the steep.
I never actually worked out where the start and finish were until I coasted down for my start, a few others weren't expecting the flat sprint at the end!
Still, I don't think this or last week will have quite prepared me for next Sunday...

HQ is Streatley village hall open from 9.00.
Start time is 10.30
There are refreshments in the Chequers pub afterwards, what more could you want?
I will probably drive over and i think Stef is as well as he needs to get away afterwards.
Post here if you're riding out.
I'll be coming from Great Chishill, so if people are riding over it would be easier for me to join the group after Baldock somewhere depending on the route taken, if a group is going please kindly post the route.

i will be riding over from northill (weather dependant) - only 15 miles = good/about right warm up
if anyone wants to join me let me know - parking available at my house
