Hell of the North Cotswolds - 2010

[AlanW]

I do hope that the weather will be kind to us again this year.

Just got in on a late entry thing via Retrobike.... so will be using my retro Stump Jumper or even more retro 3 speed Holdsworth road bike.. for a laugh

I am hoping for extremely deep mud and snow, to make it hell..

When do they normally send out the 50km and 100km .gpx routes?

 

[AlanW]

Both routes are now downloadable from http://www.honc.org.uk/

Had an e-mail today with routes. See you all there!

Not that it really matters coz I have downloaded the routes from the HONC website now, but I haven't had an e-mail?

EDIT
Just recovered it from my Spam folder!

I also notice that there has been a revised route done to avoid a lambing area since a couple of days ago. Its actually a couple of miles shorter now.

Does anyone know where the feed stop thingy will be? Does it tell you somewhere? Dads needs to know so he can get the support car there

Church Road, Guiting Power, same place as last year I think?

As for a support car .....you bloody kids don't know the meaning of life do you....

Did they send out an entry confirmation email for this years? I know I'm on the list but can't find a confirmation in my inbox to print out.

That was a good day out, nice conditions for it.

Did the 100k in 5hr 20min. I'm knackered now, left the house at 5.30am this morning, just need to eat something then goto bed!

 

[AlanW]

Ouch.

+1

That was easy..... well the easiest for some time anyway, I am not saying that I am not knackered, just not as knackered as some years....

By the way, has anyone lost a Garmin? I found one today on the 100k route, it will need a new screen but still works, I assume they can be fixed..
