[Closed] Ride with Brad this Sunday

The official mechanical partner is Wiggle, so they'll be no spares and all riders will be banned from carrying their own tools / spares so as not to compete with Wiggle, who will have a trade stand with expensive wheels on display, but not for sale.....

so was that a yes then.................

I'll be there,my first sportive.I signed up a couple of months ago for the 100 km route, been doing 60 -70 mile loops on the roadbike every weekend since June,at least with the wet summer I've not missed getting covered in mud on the mountainbike every weekend.Hope the weathers not to wet..

so was that a yes then.................

A dig at Wiggle after Mountain Mayhem which they also sponsored and pissed everyone off with their 'no spares' policy 😉

Would I have to stay behind him because of his celebrity status or could I ride at my own pace?

I'm doing the 160 but given an almost complete lack of long rides I suspect that it's going to hurt. A lot.

I'm looking forward to it - it's supposed to be a nice part of the world for road riding.

I've signed up for the 100km........plenty of hills!!

Spoke to the organiser a few weeks ago and he reckoned there's 600 signed up for it.

I'm looking forward to it - it's supposed to be a nice part of the world for road riding.

Yup it's great round there - pretty hilly! The first feed station (Slaidburn) is where I'm getting married next year.

Do we have to call him Brad though? Makes him sound Australian or American. 🙂

I signed up for the 160 and just hope to get round it!

I'm hoping too that it'll mainly be a celebration of all that has gone on in UK cycling this year with the TdF and 2012 that the UK has a lot to be proud of.

I live within about 2 miles of the very northern tip of the route and although I'm not really a roadie it's a good place so will be enjoying it. It'd be good if just many, many people turn up and ride.
