If you sign up is it possible to wuss out again later? Not to get my money back, but just to open the place up again. I really want to do it but there's a good chance I'll be abroad.

No confirmation email either, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

I did this single speed last year and it was fine. Particularly pleased with getting up a few hills that lycra'd, geared types had walked up and getting applause from said types. Not all of them mind but it would prob make very little difference if I was geared/ss/fixed #suckathills

Will be doing it fixed this year fo'shure.

none of the hills are that bad.

all are possible fixed.
• #69

Sammy_Dodger

I shall be fixed this year too.

Canonbie Road is a git, but it is mercifully short.
• #70

JAH_tim

Greetings folks,
Digger - great to see you have signed up...
The hills - as Skive says none of the hills are too bad. I managed to get up all of them except Canonbie Road. That one is a killer, for me it is the speed bumps that finished me off on such a steep gradient. So had to walk up that one, but from the top the view of baby-Lon don is beautiful.
Much prefer the hills to the pave sections. But the main thing about this ride is it is a lovely day out run by a great bunch of people, not some lycra clad Etape type thing for people to get a bit carried away about. It is something to enjoy...
Give thanks,
Tim

Wow, massive forum turnout this year, I'm sure there were nowhere near as many of us last year. Although I don't think there was a list.

Let's hope the weather is the same though - last year was a beautiful day.

The link in the OP points to the 2010 thread by the way, the 2011 thread is here:
https://www.lfgss.com/thread58124-5.html

It's worth a look if only for the photos of us struggling up hills...

Greetings Fox,
'Sorry, my bad ' - as people more than half my age would say. Opening post now shows correct threads from 2010 and 2011.
Give thanks,
Tim

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
