I thought this looked good, then I saw that 60% is road, 25% fire road and tracks, 10% bridleways and 5% singletrack. Then £25 for what they call a new concept? Hardly.
I think I'll just do the Chilterns Classic that day for a fiver.

It's got sportive in the title innit. Perfectly follows the audax + £20 = sportive rule 🙂

It's not £25, and it must end up going through Checkendon.

Might be a bit of fun, rather than all those keen club riders desperately pretending that they've not spent all Xmas and New Year on the turbo in the garage in the Reliability runs.

Sorry £17. Do you think it'll be any good then?
I'd be pee'd off it turned out to be a just a dirty road ride, when there's s a full 100 going on in the same area on the same day.
It's CX credentials seem dubious.

Well, its still early in the year, anyway, it'll be good getting into the swing of things riding in order to get ready for 3PCX next September...

As an excuse to get out and do a bit of riding, it sounds ok.
