Surrey Rumble Cyclosportive

funkin-baby

Entries for this have just opened.  I'm thinking either 57 miles if I cycle there from home, or drive there and do the 77 miler.  Entry is 8 pounds.

Anyone else fancy this.  Surely we can find a good pub for a late lunch afterwards...

XFR Bear

Dustboy

Yeah, might be a laugh, they could have stuck some upflats in mind, looks a bit pancake....

Ad if you are last, you get to eat all the cake and flapjacks left over

Which is nice.

Trogs

Except I shall be in major tapir mode in kiwiland

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp

XFR Bear

LOL, If DTB gets cramp again we will never make the pub, for a late lunch, Dinner maybe?

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp

Lol Tonka Boy, I 'ave actually been out on the bike a few times now, so afternoon tea may be a possibility. Think positive

Little Ninja

I may well come along to meet you in the pub afterwards, I mean provide support

Imeccentric

Myself and Lindi are now entered for this

[Deleted User]

funkin-baby

I've just entered too.  Thought it was wise to do so since I started the thread!

Kanga M

Hmm, could be a goer. Will consult the Mrs ...

Imeccentric

Lindi says please let her know if you are doing this ride and have ordered kit !

We will be there 

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp

Oooh! I'll be there and have ordered kit....

If anyone has a place they dont want id love to do this event.

Holly_Golightly

I have a place and don't particularly want to do it because I haven't sat on the bike since the first weekend in January, but I think I should probably do it.  And I'm booked in to stay with the parentals so I guess I can't get out of doing it.  Sorry. 

Bouncing Barlist

First you raise my hopes then dash them  

Im kind of tempted to come along and do it anyway, its public roads and as long I dont take anything from their feed stations etc I think this would be ok.  I'll give them a small charity donation too.

Sorted, ill see you there (ive not ridden my bike since Florida)

funkin-baby

So I wonder, which pub can we go to for a late lunch after the ride...

Bouncing Barlist

I know a couple of pubs near there..

Are you mostly doing the long or short?  I quite fancy hurting and doing the long but would prefer to start early as not to be my usual last!

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp

Aiming at the long, but not too sure - the longest i've done is still the amusing cramp-sportive with you last year. Did a 50 yesterday, but it was very leisurely pace and mostly flat, so no real idea how badly this will hurt.....

Bouncing Barlist

Im up for doing the long at a easy pace just to get some distance in my legs.  Maybe we can get a small group together that arent interested on hammering around and form a small peleton.

[Deleted User]

I am doing the short one..........

PSC

Carl,  are you really planning to go along and ride without a place..... I'm tempted to do the same.  It is either that or the Thanet 20 (run) and I think that I would probably benefit more from doing the ride rather than the run......

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp

Does she mind you calling her that?

Bouncing Barlist

PSC yes I am though im a little wary its probably frowned upon. 

Provided we dont congregate at the start or use any of the organisation (other than following the signs) I dont see any harm in it. 

I may go and ask if there are any spare places on the day (im sure a dozen or so wont turn up).  Either way, yes im going to ride the course.  I'll put it down as pillaging experience

Holly_Golightly

I'm cycling an extra 6 miles to and from the start, so I'm limiting myself to the short course.  I've seen the route too.  Definitely the short course.
