oh i suppose.. my local club urged me along to go because they sold it to me as one, so i suppose i was disappointed from that aspect as i didn't know better. Burger at the end was good though i must say heh.
Think I am in. Last minute panic , not realising how fast it filled having entered what seemed like weeks later about 3 years ago.
anyway a question. My name is on the list but no email as yet. I assume its automated. no spam filter at all on the email account used. My account (Orange) just won't accept the capital letters to enter the address as approved and lower case means a different address. Maybe a typo of mine but damn sure not. any ideas of how to review my entry form just in case.
anyway it will be a cross bike, geared or ss depending on weather and route .
Explosion In a Spaghetti Factory – if it was you I was following down that last descent last year, you certainly were going some on that tandem!
My brother just managed to nip in front of you before it really got going but I was perfectly happy following you both and shamelessly using your lines to overtake some of the slower riders. 😉
As did Leon, Huw and Andy, unless of course they have other things on.
Hwe will be interested to hear that he's Welsh now.
I'm a bit gutted, 'cos the route keeps getting better, and rolling in the LVIS posse last year was great fun, but it's all about the Audaxes this year. 😉
a few years since i last did it, i can't be doing with pre-entering. used Conti XC1.5's, or Panaracer Fire 1.8s. There is a fair bit of road work so don't do it on 2.5's if you have a choice.
I have done most of the route variations on Vredestein Fortezza Tricomps, The hailes abbey decent was interesting 😯

If anyone else has a spare place I think anotherdeadhero (Andy L) would be interested.
it all depends on the wife, were either going to whistler for the last of the snow or she's riding round the cotswold's with me, depends if she wants the holiday more than an entry for HONC. only time will tell.
Just heard that they may be not using printed directions as in past years, instead the route is to be signposted throughout, hope this is not the case, getting lost is half the fun 🙄
cue sheets are far better than marker boards, especially when your brother-in-law does an extra 9 miles because he blindly followed a dozen other muppets and didn't get the map or cue sheet out of his pockets all day. 🙄
Graham – will you be publishing the route in advance as normal ? I know most of the area and like to get it in my head beforehand…and have a few (legit) off-tarmac detours where I can fit them in.
