100 miles over to the Chilterns via woburn exact route to be finalised but it will be a good warm up for the Chiltern 100 in June . Start 0800 ish with coffee and cake stops so bring some cash .
Thanks Stef couldn't work out how to do that . SB has given links to two routes which have good cafe stops we just need to download them from site onto a garmin and we are there , if thats ok with everyone .
Cheddar Gorge is amazing! Was working in Bristol a couple of summers ago, popped out to cheddar every day for a week, couldn't get over how beautiful the climb is. Plus it's not actually that hard... The other steeper climbs in the area are killers though. Enjoy!
Sorry haven't been in touch last few weeks been in mallorca working and training.
Yes I'm definitely on for sunday though I don't have a garmin so if someone could download one of the routes shaun posted that would be great. Thinking of 0800 start as I am working that night so don't want to be rushing around later if that's ok with everyone.
ok Mark think we could probably wing it even without a garmin i will have my phone which has google maps anyway . I`m ok getting to Woburn and then towards the chilterns isnt a prob , just the bit in the chilterns itself needs looking at and getting back via markyate ,luton hoo no probs .
Also need to stress this ride will be at around the 16-17 mph average no heroics just a fun day out , it will only have a handful of climbs just to get warmed up for the 110.

Both make use of two cafes: Stockgrove Country Park, Heath & Reach (nr. Woburn) and Ashridge Monument.
Ps will be in touch regarding caf stops.
i should be on this one will meet you on route as your heading my way langford/clifton area, its quite hilly so the pace should not to be to fast.
If you let me know what time you leave the tuns around 8.00am as posted above is the norm on a long run like this i can work out where to meet you.
I know some of the way out toward woburn but with your garmin should be a sinch.
strappy.

Have a good ride on Saturday. And a heads up, I'm going to organise another 100 miler for Sat 18th May, two weeks before the Chiltern 100.

And I'll give it a whirl too
