Chiltern Big/Little Dipper 17.4.11

[Heather]

Is anyone else doing this one?

I'm doing the Big Dipper one as my 1st 100+. I'm a little scared of the hills as I'm new to cycling (was a runner before). Looking forward to it though

I'm down in South Wales for a 200km Audax and I've no idea what to expect. I've just got the route card but not many place names mean anything to me so I don't know whether it's a coastal flatty or mountain climbing in the Brecons

So much for psychological preparation


Good luck in the Chilterns - I have to say they're just the sort of short steep hills I hate, so rather you than me

Uh oh, are my legs going to fall off and my lungs burst out my mouth?

I'm reallllllllllly scared about Sunday Hope its not toooooooooooo bad.

So am I - I just plotted Sunday's route on Bikehike and found it's got 2000m of ascent with sections of 20% (although they look short - fingers crossed )
