Vätternrundan 2014 - Fixed?

I've registered again... will ride fixed again too. The wind was far worse than any of the hills last year.

-- Don't lean.

Been thinking a lot about this and it kept popping into my head as I was riding - what exactly do you mean?

Do you mean the motion of leaning forwards and backwards whilst climbing in the saddle?

253 days until the start for me too. This time a later start means that hills after Jönköping should be at day break. I don't know how I will manage to get to sleep and wake up at two though.

Don't worry, it's a forum joke/Scoblism.

Hi funkt, I have also registered for 2015. Agree the wind can't possibly be as bad as last year.

Going fixed on my Bike 14, 50/17, bit aggressive but its not a hill climbing kindof trip. Did the Nelson Tour de Test Valley last month, now that was a killer.

This is the 50th Vattern so should be a carnival.

Nelsons wasn't that bad was it? Granted, I only did the 50 and had 2 pub stops along the way.

Just paid for my Vattern 2015 spot. Anyone else going?

3 in my group inc. Rollo and Smackboy. 7.45pm start.

Don't start until 22.38pm. I'll just have to catch up I guess.

Our group of 3 will be pulling out of the ride this year as I'm expecting a baby on that very weekend! Anybody want to ride, please PM me and I'll organise a transfer. Price per ticket is £100.

You'll need to sign up, give me your customer ID and DOB for me to transfer the places.

Highly recommend it, was the best organised ride I've ever done and thoroughly recommend riding it fixed. I'm very sad not to be riding it again myself.
