Evening all ,

Was wondering if any of you would like to join me in a ride around Stanmer park sometime in the next few weeks , to find their way around before the big race ?
Prefferably someone who knows their way around it , that means someone other than me :facepalm:
Can do an evening or weekend . See what suits the hoards that reply

I may be heading to Stanmer next Tuesday evening for a lap or two of the new course if I can remember the way! Rode it last night and was impressed.

How did you get on? what's the course like this year Bryan? Hopefully not that silly steep section near the retrobike tent...

Re:

Didn't make it on Tuesday. Work stuff. Sorry Mike.

Got out late the end and just went for a spin. Bum ed into Rory, who said they are adding a new bit in to make it longer.

Course seems good. Not the same big steep climb as last year but plenty of testing climbs. No coledean (over the road) ether. And that last bomb hole descent isn't in, but the top half is. Enough technical stuff and twisty singletrack in there to keep it entertaining though.

Hey folks, looking forward to the big race. I'm looking for a pardner actually, male pairs so any bike you like, reckon I'll be riding rigid ss 26er, whatever. Anyone?

You should get the banner so folks can find retro corner Max...

See y'all there!

just in case any one is interested the Velo Café is doing a preview of the course on Thursday night from the café at 6.30. I will be loitering with intent in Stanmer Park in the car park at the front from around the same time with a view to meeting up with the guys from the Café...

Good plan Max, I'll try to join the velo train so should see you in the carpark.

 

[BobCatMax]

Excellent. Aside from the ride, it will be very nice indeed to catch up mate

 

[cyclinggardener]

Indeedee, looking forward to it!
