Just had an e-mail through from the HONC chaps with a revised map attached – have just deleted the other versions I have and am running with that.
email text here below – looks like we have signposts for the route – YAY!!! See you all there. I'll be near the back . . . ;-)
Dear HONC Entrant.
Only a couple of days to go and the weather looks set fair for Sunday. Already the tracks are drying out after all the rain we have had and most of the course should be rideable.
Sign On
The event starts at 09:00am from Winchcombe School and you should plan to arrive in good time to sign on and get your route maps. You can sign on from 07:30am.
Polo Shirts
After signing on those of you who have pre ordered a Polo Shirt can collect it by presenting your Control Card at the Shirt Stall. There will be a limited number for sale on Sunday at £10 each.
Lambing
Lambing seems to be late this year and we have had to make three last minute route revisions at the request of local land owners because of young lambs or pregnant sheep. The route will be marked throughout with yellow and black HONC arrows and you will get a correction sheet at the sign on. The route revisions only affect the 100km route and not the 50km route.
There are still some fields that will contain sheep and lambs so please ensure the you close all gates behind you.
GPS Route. We have attached an updated .gpx and .trl file for the 100km route (RevB) which superceeds the file originally published on our HONC wen site.
We wish you all a great ride and look forward to seeing you all on Sunday
The HONC Team.
ps don't forget the sunbloc!
