The 62 mile distance is tempting me...still plenty of time before March to get some more hill work into my legs.I fancy a medal for not stopping on Mow Cop

If you enter, put 'Cycle Chat' as your team; it'll mean you're hopefully in with other middle-distance riders from here.

I'm doing the Long distance, so would already be on the road.

The thread about it is here: http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/2013-cheshire-cat.115490/
