You going to smash 3hr 50? Or going sensibly?

Well I will ride as hard as required to get round as fast as possible

[ALawson]

You will be one of the first out the gates with clear roads ahead of you! (assuming the mass departure is at 6am)! Which I think it is.

Wave G for me with an 8:48 start time.

First time riding in anything like this so should be quite an experience!

Lets hope I can still get around despite struggling to fit in much in the way of training!

[alfabadass]

Not had my letter! Panic!!

Yellow wave... 0840 start time.

Happy with that as I'm not an early bird...just hope I don't get held up by anything again this time. Same start time last year and ended up doing only 77 miles due to closures...meant I got a guaranteed entry this year though...

Most I've done so far is 45 miles in 3hrs this morning. That and 35 miles last week is the extent of my "training". Should I be worried?

[AndStilliRise]

Need to get a 100 in before the start of this thing, otherwise i am in trouble!

Unlikely given it takes most people the same time as it would to ride 60 or 70 on their own. Its also about the easiest route you could imagine considering it goes out through Surrey.

This is spot on, i'd say the three hills that are in this run are not the toughest in surrey by a long way.

I had the misfortune to do Whitedown & Coombe the other week , not ideal for a lardy like myself.

Everyone ready for Sunday?

Going off in the 1st wave and being at the pointy end brings its issues Rob ... You will have random cars from stubborn / clueless drivers , you will have caught out marshals still asleep and barriers all over the place in random spots . In both the years ive been sat in the top 20 surfing the wheels we have come to a standstill 2-3 times, be it only for 1-2 mins, the chaos quickly escalates as riders from behind get totally and utterly obsessed with not loosing time at all costs . London is safer than the lanes once in Surrey .
Im off a 6.15am ... Gonna miss the 32mph average speed for the 1st 5miles.. its a mega rip up , love it.
