SSEC is on a shaky peg for me at the moment, I'm more leaning to Forth Fat 14 (blame Jamie ) I'm also really considering the 3 pistes sportive in place of Bravo Scotia. I'd be quite happy to help with a 5 ferries attempt anaw. And I'm signed up for 10UTB, just need to get Retro status

 

[velomaniac]

Although I suggested 5 ferries, I'm out of that one. To pull it off would require a dedicated squad of fast moving roadies which rules me out.

I'd prefer if someone with a more dedicted road interest took over organising Macretro's road meets. I'm too slow and unfit for such cycle challenges, but happy to help in the planning.

Was thinking SSEC but I dont reckon I'll be there this year but will be half fatting with the full fat crew at Forth Fat 14, thats a lot of fat !

Some of my area CTC folk do this every year and they dont set the tarmac on fire

 

[kaiser]

Aye, I've saw groups from work do it, no one I'd really call a quick cyclist.
