2020 event will be on Sunday, February 16th.
There are two routes, a fairly easy 50km and a fairly tough 100km. The rides start from Chalfont St Peter and go almost entirely on minor roads, though the routes have been designed to avoid downhills on poor surface lanes. The cost is £8.00 for advance entry, £10.00 on the day. This includes signage, catering at the start and finish and a certificate for finishers who arrive within their chosen time. You can choose either distance on the day. The 100km starts at 09:30 on the 16th, 50km at 09:45.Full details and online entry at

Still wondering what to do this weekend - I have a few places left on the 3 Down, Runs Near London to just past New Forest (and back of course) Entry at http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/18-417/ with ridedetails and a link to the ride documents

Took some flyers with me to Richmond Park and shamelessly pressed them on cyclists queuing for coffee and cake at the Caff. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of interest shown.
The routes have been checked by fellow club members and small adjustments will be made to the routesheets in the next day or so.
Several people asked me how to get there without a car. Marylebone to Gerrards Cross on Chiltern is the best bet, with Uxbridge, Rickmansworth, Chorleywood Underground alternatives. There does not appear to be any engineering work on the Chiltern Line and I noticed they advertise a £3.00 advance single. Allow 15 minutes from the train to the starting line.

There is 50K ride at 9:45 and a 100K ride at 9:30. The 5oK is fairly benign, the 100K fairly tough. You can make up your mind on the day which to do.
Advance entry is £8, this includes refreshments.

On the Willesden 100 two hills, Kop Hill and Smalldean Lane will probably give fixies a walk. The 50K route is pretty benign.

Just to be clear it's on 19th February, starts from Chalfont St Peter and has a 50K and 100K Route only. Entries Are £8 online and £10 on the day. Full details at http://www.willesdencyclingclub.co.uk/calendar/reliability-rides/
