[theredchili]

3500ft in 30 miles in the FOD ?!? :shock:

You using a garmin 800 by any chance ?!?

big route, plenty of climbs ,33.5 actually

nice, looking foward to the 3500 ft of climbs

You know what I think of climbs :evil:

Of course, the racing snake will love it :roll:

Please someone tell me we are not climbing the North face of Symonds Yat!

Hoping the route is "Retro" friendly and not based on a Orange 5 ?!?!

 

[theredchili]

The route I did today was not the route we are doing for this ride - well only one section was.

The route planned I have fully ridden retro , rigid and single speed and will be very similar to the ride at Easter which you and Matt liked

Panic not everyone

Phew, I'll take the 20 - 32 granny ring off then.

Looking good for this, hoping to have a little NW raiding posse to share the fuel bill ... which will be nearly thrice what I paid for the bike I'm probably bringing!

Excellant - have you managed to remove all of the uphill bits? (not so keen on those!)

Managed to get myself into the position of the only serviceable British Steel bike is a 23" Raleigh Avanti :roll: must stop tinkering with stuff.....

Dave are you on the Roberts?
