    where?

    I am doing the 100km route. I am taking the mtb this time, the only cx bike I have is a ss and I found it a bit spinny on the last one of these.

    The route looks good, I think there is more off road than the last one. Plus a nice hill at the start to warm up on.

    Weather should be good too.

    I thought that was a very good route, obviously helped by the fantastic weather. The course seemed to suit mtb and cx bikes equally, I am not sure which was best? I was pleased with my decision to take the mtb, I think the SS CX bike would have been hard work – tough on the climbs and mega spinney on the roads. Having fatter tyres was a bonus on some of the descents.

    The signage generally seemed to be very good, although a few signs had disappeared around the course, the GPS helped on these bits. I still managed one wrong turn.

    The little party happening on the Ridgeway was a surprise, I thought I was hallucinating as I rode through the crowds!

    I got around the long route in just over 5 hours, it would have been a bit faster but I put a big cut into my tubeless rear tyre about halfway around, it almost sealed but in the end it needed an inner tube fitting.

    A good day out.
