anyone in for 3down this weekend?
tossing up riding out but makes for a very long day once I factor in the ride home.
Think Yossarian mentioned he was doing it?
I'm yet to do the dunwich dynamo, but from the general pace of it, I'd suggest that it's probably easier to tackle than an audax.
Any of those three you're looking should be fairly easy fixed. 1000m of climbing over 100km isnt flat - there will be hills - but if you have a reasonable level of fitness and/or some determination you wont have a problem. Besides, if you can walk 150m in your cycling shoe of choice almost any hill at any grade can be traversed - at least in the SE of England. just make sure your bike is in reasonable working order and your tyres are in good repair, pick one and go for it.
I believe that anyone that can ride round richmond park 2 or 3 times can ride 60 miles. It's not a huge leap, and at that distance food management isnt even that important.
If you want to test the water, come along on a TNRC or two. Theyre shorter, full of friendly people, mostly sociable, and a good way to test your fitness and machine. and unike Audax, no one gets left behind (mostly).
