Last year I did a couple of recce of the bike course which gave me loads of confidence for the day, it really helped knowing what the course was like, it was also reassuring knowing where i was going.
I will be going out again probably Sunday April 5th, if the new bike course isnt up by ( it should be) then I will do a long and short lap of the old course
If anyone interested sign in below

Interested but may wait a bit till I fully commit
I am interested, but like Pingu will wait until closer to the time, us Welsh don't like to commit

Anyone else fancy it?
So we're looking about 80miles? If its one long and one short? What sort of pace are we looking at?
It sound slike a potential to me, otherwise it'll be motion in mercia long route for me
Having talked to Mrs Matt, she wants to work that weekend so I'll be riding the motion in mercia route.
Can we do another weekend? And do a recce of the run as Honk suggested?
i might go down on another weekend as i cant do 7th april, itll prob be the 14th or 28th or might even be in may if its shit weather still, the run route is easy
Im probably still going to go dwon on the 7th, if the weather isnt to bad.
we can park at the Bridge at Gamston which is right near HPP
Pace wise will be around at about 17 - 18 mph, long and short lap
17-18 mph? With a JATO I might get close!
Way off the beaten track for me but it is a nice route. Enjoy peeps.
All being well the earlier the better, what time was you thinking?
I might be able to get a pass for this, will keep checking the thread
Good man SA
JC, i will be coming over from The otherside of Derbyshire, maybe 90 minutes or so away, so anytime after 9am?
9am good for me, if you can make it earlier let me know
Perfect
so its 7:30 at the pub?
I have a little work to do Sunday morning, I have to check the weekends orders have come in, if they have and all processed fine I know the rest of the day is mine, if not I'm working AM, I usually check at 6 in the morning and then either out on the bike or back to bed depending on what my training is for the day, I can check earlier and may be able to make this.
If its 7:30 and I'm not there then I'm working, dont wait around for me.
