Nice bit of climbing, some super steep hills in this ride. I'm in, will be booking my entry on Sunday. Apparently last year got 1000 participants in the first 10 days, so book early - booking opens at midnight this Sat 31st October.
Tea and cake at my place afterwards, it's only 500 yards or so from the start/finish. |

This sounds terrifying!
You must promise me a lot of cake to get me into this one!  |

If you want to be a pansy and not go, by all means, be my guest.  |

| Just saw this... it is now full .... would it be very rude to go anyway - just cycle the route without entering?? |

| Not at all - public highways and all. You just won't get a timing chip and certificate, not that that matters much. |

| No-one's stopping you coming along anyway, I know a couple of people who are going to. You can always assuage any guilt by donating some money to the charity supported. That's what I've always done on the BHF L2B ride. |

I might be interested as well provided I'm still cycling regularly all the way through to January. |
