That's fantastic! Thanks for doing the admin on this, Stef.
-
Character building day, but in the legs. A bit colder than expected and then wet and much colder than expected. At least we got a tailwind... eventually. 86m for me and a fair bit of suffering. What's not to like?

Robbie mentioned the Sundon Loop to me. Stop at Whitwell? Could do that or Grafham. There is another caf

I'm available for marshalling duties this year.
-
Found that quite hard for a lot of the ride but good to be back out with you guys. Also good to be sitting outside again on the terrace at the caf

Here are two routes I've used for previous CCA 100 miler rides out towards the Chilterns: http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=323336 http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=393975 Both make use of two cafes: Stockgrove Cou…

I would be up for a regular CCA 100 miler. I'm not around 1st weekend in May sadly. Also note that 1st weekend in June is Chiltern 100 and 1st weekend in July is CCA Tour de Yorkshire. Those are going to dent attendance a bit...

I believe all SRAM brakes (Red to Apex) are 39-49mm (i.e. not long drop 57mm). It might be enough. As Tim says, it depends... I'd just carry on using your current brakes (long drops?) on the winter bike. That would be similar to my setup, I run Camp…

Cheers MC, Will and Steve. Nice riding. 75 miles for me and pleased with that. My recovery continues. I've now converted two rider's bikes to single speed after derailleur exploding episodes this week. What are the chances of that? Went back to Fai…
-
Yes I'm cycling over too. MC, I'll meet you at The Cock. 8 miles to start. Think 7.30am is slightly tight though (we should really sign on and pay. This will involve form filling). Suggest 7.15am depart... and a coffee before the event start if w…
-
I'm planning on riding with Jane, John and Alistair as far as the first main cafe stop at Thaxted. And then riding back. That would be 115km using the official routing but that can be shortened slightly on the way back. Not yet decided whether I'm …
-
About a dozen out today. Steady as far as Barrington Hill, a bit fast after that. All good.
-
I'm going to be out at 9am. Looking to do about 40m at Club Run pace. Ashwell, Potton, Gt. Gransden, Bourn, Haslingfield (Barrington Hill), Bassingbourn, Ashwell
-
Another one for the list. Thanks Stef.

We spent quite a long time in the cafes last year. Ride time was 8hrs30, elapsed 10hrs52 There are four main food / control stops: Thaxted (caf
-
Just to clarify, I am signing up. It's going to be tremendous
-
Martin Certainly interested in this trip! The logistics would need nailing down if a sizeable group of us are attempting to put bikes on trains (e.g. MK - Manchester on Virgin trains - limit is 4 bikes per train)...
-
So Skelders, are you taking the 15th CCA reserved place? If you are, you need to be on the Gran reserves list (I think you are already?) and then email Eddie and tell him you're taking the final CCA place and he'll enter you into the event. BTW, gl…
-
Had a reply from Eddie. He will honour my original request for 15 reserved places. However, the 15 places refers to both Gran and Medio entries. Currently we have 14 entries combined across the two distances (12 Gran, 2 Medio). Hence we still hav…

Obviously I was sad not to be riding the Harp Hilly but the consolation prize was watching the others do a good time on a hilly course. And my pleasure providing half-time refreshments at the top of Aston Hill
-
Mark I definitely sent our team request to Eddie but never did get a confirmation thinking back on it... (thanks for arranging the new registration). I've emailed Eddie again to notify him of our original request back in Jan. We have 12 registered …
-
That's a fantastic result Theo. Nice one mate!
-
Alistair, I did say 'nearly guaranteed'. You were especially unlucky and bombed both ballots
-
I've read that people were entered into the (sercet?) "Bequest Draw" if they opted to pay their entry fee upfront and donate it to charity if unsuccessful in the main ballot. Apparently, there were 1000 entry places held back for this special draw. I…

You can find out straight away via this link: http://regonline.activeeurope.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1124438 Login with your registration details. If it says CANCELLED, you didn't get in. Mine says CANCELLED
-
Alistair, Jane and myself were there. Well supported event, total number of riders just over 100. The Chiltern lanes were a bit of a challenge, very mucky and a lot of potholes, but it was great to be in the hills! Chinnor Hill, Small Dean Lane and F…
-
Robbie and myself were going down Everton Hill as you lot were labouring up it. Not quite so tidy there...
-
Should be there.
-
Still planning to go over for this one on Sunday. Anybody else? Start 9 am. On-the-line entry. £5. HQ: Nash Mills Recreation Centre Nash Mills Lane Kings Langley Hemel Hempstead HP3 9TE

I've entered too. It seems like the HHH organisers are restricting the entry list to 100 riders. If you're not yet ready to enter but may be interested, you could monitor the number of places left using this link.
