That's pretty savage. I went up the gentler but longer side yesterday on my fixed, which wasn't too bad if you get a running start and keep plugging. Couldn't contemplate the steep side with the traffic though.

The long, nore gentle (but still 13%) side is the way we're going. The savage short bit we're going down - will mean brakeless young blades should be prepared to think the unthinkable and dust off that monoplaner and dirt harry combo.

According to Eurosport P-R coverage starts at 1.30. Pub is open from 12.

Dovvles - no.

Its a 'ride' btw and not a 'race' .

:)

Hello

We're getting a few can't make its now and I'd anticipate a few more before the weekend - if anybody not registered to ride want to come along you're more than welcome - we might run out of free gifts but we can still enter you into our post-ride raffle.

cheers

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

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.

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?

:)
