If it’s as well run as some of the previous events it’s a ride heading through lovely countryside and with a great atmosphere

Twenty five miles tends to be a little short and I’d never do the One hundred miler. Sixty miles is do-able with plenty of group rides beforehand.

Sizing is always a weird one with regard to cycle tops. If I go into M&S for a shirt, I’m a medium every time. Cycle shirt sizing is always hit and miss. I have an XXL that fits perfectly!
