100 miles – 31st Jan
Hi all, here is the 100 route, Saturday 31st January
7am from Argos
This is not a club organized route and does not have any turn by turn instructions, so please print a copy of this map and bring it with you.
Adrian has said that he will download it to his GPS system, hopefully other people who have GPS will download too.
There will be a vehicle at 50 miles, either Long Bennington or Westborough which will have water and some malt loafs.
Given that my pace isn’t the fastest at the moment and limited winter light, I suggest that we start at 7am from Argos.
Let me know if you are up for it and who have GPS systems.
This is a good way to end January!!

@ Adrian, can you please make the map a link, I am being a techno numpty! Cheers!
Link done (Adam taught me everything I know)
Yes GPS can be done but don’t follow me blindly unless you want constant shouts of ‘Hang on – we are off course’! Actually it works really well when I remember to use it properly
I’m up for it, despite my lack of miles and excess ‘baggage’. A slightly later start would be welcome (7.30?), but I’ll go with the flow.
Morning John,
A great cup of tea yesterday thank you both for your kindness. I sorry I can’t ride with you on your flat 100miler but unfortunately we have a family engagement that weekend. So I will wish you good luck and keep it between the hedges!
Allez…
Having not been on the bike now for over 5 weeks, it’s probably too soon for me for that distance!!
It’s all on the flat though Graham ……
@ Graham, it’s downhill all the way!
Hey!Who’s the new boy? Hi Graham where have you been my old fruit cake?
Hi ALL,
Yes sorry for keeping a low profile. I’ve been so busy with the house etc and I was up in Glasgow at the weekend.
I do plan to ride this year – honest!!! The turbo trainer is now set up and I plan to do some hard riding to catch up on the fitness. I plan to go out this Saturday, so may see you all at 7am Argos (weather permitting though – think I’m turning a bit soft in my old age)@ Hare – Yes, I’m all good my Irish friend, you busy this Thursday night – do you fancy an evening ride and a catch up? Does Anyone else ride in the evenings? I may have to join the Beeston Honies on a Monday night!!!
I would love to but its Randall’s wake so I might be worse for ware…you know us celts! But I’m planning to ride on Wednesday morning with nessy if he is still up for it or how are you fixed for Sunday morning? Let me know. Good to see your still around, love to Debs and the family.
Regards,
Paul
@ Graham, Hope the house is going well? They sure do take up a lot of cycling time! Paul and I are out Weds morning if you’d like to join us (yes everyone i know i should be at work but hey ho)!
Thats spooky Paul you must have just beaten me to that, def up for Weds morning, shall we say 9.30 at mine?
That sounds great. Do you have a route in mind?
@ Paul, not really how about you?
Support Update: it looks as Nikki Ness and Nadia will be at Long Bennington offering water and malt loafs.
Riders so far: Me, Adrian, Richard, Tony, Mark Ness…please let us know if you are up for 50 miles or 100 miles.
Judy and Rosanna may attempt the 1st 50 miles.
I am a definate maybe! Will just have to check out the lay of the land with impending house move.
@ Mark Ness, Hmm! I will have a think and get back to you this evening.
Judy here,
@ Nessy and Hare – if you aren’t doing anything really fast or up, may be I can join you??
It looks like Graham T may also do the 100 miler.
He may well bring two cyclist he has recently made contact with.
Graham may be on a time pressure, so will wish to go at a faster pace than me, which is cool as long as there are two distinct groups for the ride with atleast two riders in each group.
Nadia and Nikki will aim to get to Long Bennington (50) for about 10:45 to 11:30 so fasters riders will need to put on the blog their ETA at Long B and I will see if Nadia and Nikki will get there earlier (not guaranteed though).
