Just fond out that this is the 13th event. That's quite a long time for a sportive isn't? Better be no rain

We might be quite glad of the odd shower mate if it's a hot day. Definitely no storms though!

Well I have been to the club and they are the nicest bunch of people I have met. Payment for the sportive is Β£8 until Saturday 3rd August then Β£10 on the day. I was 114th I think person to sign and I saw other people signing on too. There are no road marshals only two stops for water and stuff. You are left to follow directions - no signs. See if I can post the stuff tomorrow. I will also make the GPX of the route too.

It looks like we both have a good knowledge of our local areas, so we should be able to muddle our way around the course!

I would be surprised if there are any sweep wagons for this ride mate, as there are no marshals or signage for it either.

I have uploaded the GPX file that Whitestar has been kind enough to post into my Everytrail account. If anyone would like to have a look at the route and it's elevations etc, here is the link: www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=2243858
