Ha yeah me too. Anyone got a GPS?

I'd be up for it again. I also have a list of UK sportives - I'll post the interesting ones up here when I've been through them.

...and by the way, Ed, it is not acceptable for someone of your cycling ability to opt for the short course  Wink

@ Howard - Are you aware of any starting in West London, at a sensible hour?

Nice! But you have to admit, Big, there are short courses and then there are short courses...yesterday's was a very respectable 91km, not a paltry 56km!

Ha ha!  I can't remember if you need to decide on registration or not.

I'll see how I feel when I sign up, and might flip a coin Smile

I'd be up for the short one. By the time I finish it, you lot should all have completed the long one!

I assume you mean the Easter ride, as opposed to the Evans one that I've since moved to here:

Yeah, I was talking about the easter ride. Might be able to do the Woking one as well, but there are some logistics that would need to be sorted out first (and I would do a short one for that anyway!)

I'm up for the 112km but have slight concerns as to how partytastic that weekend may become, I guess if I sign up and don't show it will not be the end of the world.

I've registered.

@Sparky:  I guess there'd be no issues not turning up.  Apparently there are limited places, so I'm not sure if they encourage people to notify of cancellation (even if on the day) to allow for more entrants.

Great! I'll bring the tow rope. For you, to tow me, obviously. How are we getting there?

Last year we rode to Gospel Oak and took the overland to Woodgrange Park, which is a couple of miles from the start point...would probably look to do the same this year (and am assuming that you'll be in Maida Vale by then)
