Time has rolled around for the most chilled out cycling event in the calendar (and the best raffle 😁 )

I'll be there in a couple of weeks, anyone else going?

It's my 50th birthday weekend, so of course I'll be singlespeeding the 75km route. And drinking a fair amount of cider.

Yep, I'll be there.  Camping with mates.  Always have a great time at HOTS.

Good effort -rather you than me!

Over the years I've done 5 HOTS on SS and 4 on geared, so I know the pain I'm due 😆

No more HOTers then? Weather looks like it'll be lovely.

I'll be there.

Did HONC singlespeed once, don't think I'd come close to being able to do HONC on one, half the time a fail getting up the quarry climb on a geared bike.

If anyone is camping, I'm in a blue Octavia and will be in a small tent next to mates in a couple of vans.  I'll probably get there around 5 ish this afternoon. Come and say hi.

Of the 8 or 9 I've done I thought this was the best route yet. Perfect day. I'd love a Babycham....

Not sure how many I’ve done but agree this was the best route yet. Good weather for the last month must have helped. 

managed an embarrassing crash on one of the little wooden features in the woods near the middle

A wonderful day, with so many chilled, friendly riders. A big thank you to the organisers and volunteers.
