i quite fancy this. the crystal palace one...

citron - thanks for starting the thread :)

Regsitrations are going very nicely and Brixton Cycles are currently bullying their various sales reps for stuff to give away at the end raffle. I would urge anyone thinking of taking part to sign up as soon as poss, I did originally think we might struggle to get 200 but now I think we'll fill up pretty soon - at the current rate of signups before the end of Feb.

I've ridden most of the cobbled sections on fixed and thats been fine - better if anything than a geared bike. As long as your chain tension is good! The hills...well what can I say, we're going over Canonbie Road SE23...best make sure those tracknuts are tight eh?

:)

Just sent in mine for me and a chum. Looks good!

I hope there are places left!

rookie - as I type there are 24 spaces left - best get your app in asap. You can regsiter at Brixton Cycles if you don't want to wait for the postal entry.

Get the route up - you know it makes sense...

in for this.
application done and in the post.
fingers crossed i'm in time.

Jung - patience sir, mid March is when we;re planning to release the route in full.

Hey hey, how cool is this?
I'm in and registered...

~~Cheers Diggs for the heads up and Jimbilly for working at BC and living at Grobag towers. Life couldn't get any easier than this.

I will be registered first thing in the morning.~~

Scratch that, diary conflict with the European Hardcourt Bike Polo Championship qualifiers.

i'm tempted, but it's the day after the tweed run, and i have a feeling i will be hungover.

Is it like Chessington World of Adventures and have a minimum height thingy?

screw you.

at least i dont have to tie a hi-vis vest to the end of my nose so i dont joust people when riding.

i signed up yesterday

what bikes are people using?

if anyone's riding fixed, it would be sensible to use gear inches no more than 70". Canonbie is around 1 in 5 I think.

probably road bike with gears and freewheel for this mission

Greetings folks,
I have signed up for this.
I now have a month to get myself fit...
Peace and Love,
Tim

P.S. As of yesterday afternoon Brixton Cycles had just one more entry form going....

nice one tim!
