Naturally so far as Sunday the 31st May is concerned I could not recommend any other event than the Hounslow 100, complete with special prize (see above). Closing Date is next Tuesday.
If I were not out of action I would enter the Hitchin Nomads 25 on the 7th June and the Finsbury Park 50 the following week. Both these events are on the F1 course (North Road) which on a good day should give you a p.b.
If you've ridden the 100, however badly you did in it, you should be well prepared for the 50. Instead of fearing it as being too far to ride fast, you should by now be beginning to think of the 50 as a speed event.
Incidentally remember that in the 100, if you've never ridden one before, you only have to finish to achieve that p.b.
I am currently researching a story for the 'Furthest Ride' thread which may prove embarassing to all those who think 100 miles is an impossibly long way . More on this soon - be warned!
The more you talk about this, the more tempted I am.. but I can't do birthday and TT
