After the 2009 event I'm planning on doing this 100k ride again. The course was great, the hills short, sweet and plentiful and the hot tea at the refreshment stops fantastic. The only downside was the snow blizzard but I'm trying to forget about that!
Entries open on 31 October. If you're tempted, here's a link to my 'report' from this year.

No way Trogs, you're doing the 50k minimum, and I'm drafting you!
PS Happychap, found out where I saw that age I was telling you about - on the competitor list for Swashbuckler, but its age at 31/12/2010 for some reason!
£20 dispatched. Gone for an early start to give myself the best chance of avoiding the broom wagon.
Did some of the hills on the Weald in the mist/fog yesterday. Was suitably humbled by some of the climbs - I even managed to find a 25% climb on the way home. Maybe a new bike would help
