2012-05-27 - Chiltern Hundred 2012

Anyone doing this? There are three courses to choose from, of which I have just been convinced to do the hardest. The biggest ascent I have ever done is Ditchling, I'm going to die. Although I'll be doing this one geared.

Anyone ?

1. Gran Fondo of 177km (110 miles), with ascent of 2,620m.
   
   

The Gran Fondo is an uncompromising road romp across 177 km of the toughest and most picturesque terrain in the Chilterns. It is relentless in its pursuit of hills, 21 in all, routinely climbing at over 15% grades. From Great Missenden to Dunstable Downs, then SW for the shake down along the scarp slope where the biggest and steepest hills await you. From Watlington return to Great Missenden over the final 6 leg numbing climbs. View Route

1. Medio Fondo of 120km (75 miles) climbing 1,760m.
   
   

The Medio Fondo offers a tough 75 mile ride. The route splits from the Gran Fondo shortly after Chesham and passes through Cholesbury before rejoining the Gran Fondo for the descent of Aston Hill near Wendover. It follows the same route as the Gran Fondo to the finish and is absolutely jam packed with hills. View Route

1. Corto Fondo an 88km (54 mile) challenge ride with some hills and great views for all-comers.
   
   

The Corto Fondo cuts through beautiful Chiltern country and out onto the Aylesbury Plain with its rolling hills and great views. The route will take you to delightful villages before bringing you back to the Chilterns. 54 miles of riding ecstasy. View Route
