that pace in the lead group destroyed my legs though.

Hwe, Alex and Nick don't hang about do they

They were gone, I was at the back with Gary. The last 20 miles were a struggle, energy gels and bars did nothing.

yes - count me in for this one!

I'm up for this, hopefully I will do the full century ride but ill see how I feel on the day. Never done an Imperial century before so would be good to complete one before my Ride in June.

Just giving this one a nudge to remind you it's MONDAY WEEK.Thats Bank Holiday Monday.
No not this Monday the one after!

I'm game.

Any one riding down to start from stoke gifford area??

If it's any thing like last time Gary bought a load down from Costa via Kellaway avenue I believe.
Will check tomorrow what is being sorted out Simon.

Scott

See you tomorrow
do you have any NBCC bottles in the van??
I'm after three

Yes, I'm doing this one. Presumably it's a 9.00 am start from the Create Centre so we'll leave Costa Bradley Stoke at 8.10 am, meeting up with the Kellaway mob at 8.30 am.

I'll be leaving from Kellaway

Simon Re Bottles yes
I have bottles Nick takes the money!Collect either before ride or if you are going back to the start collect then.
If you want to use them tomorrow drop me a text as they need a swill out prior to using.
If you havent got it i have pm'd you my mob.

Is the shorter ride likely to be any good for beginners? if not, is anyone else game for a beginners ride?

What do you consider a beginner the route is not that hard but it will take us a fair time in the saddle.
You could come with us to start with and see how you get on and if to much can you branch off somewhere and find your way back?

I'll join you for this one, the last century ride was fantastic Will meet you at Costa.

Don't forget, this ride starts at 9.00 am from the Create Centre car park in the Cumberland Basin (google it if you've not been there before). There will be a feeder ride leaving from Costa / SubWay Bradley Stoke at 8.10 am which will meet up with the Kellaway Chapter at 8.30 am.

I expect we will be stopping for our main break at Cheddar after the adrenaline rush of coming down the Gorge.And i have spoken to the cafe at Sandbay and booked us in for tea and cake later in the ride.
As the sun is going to shine and it's going to be hot hot hot bring your buckets and spades and we can all build sand castles.
Unfortunately the tide will be out so no chance of skinny dipping.

Anybody riding down from winterbourne/emersons green/downend to the create centre.
