Hereford to Hay-on-Wye - Sat 3rd Sept

[Glover Fan]

Did the Gospel Pass 150 audax (its 160 really) earlier this year, really enjoyed it . The descent from the top of Gospel pass down to Abergavenny is amazing, just goes on and on. Take your camera.

Cheers for that, it is the route we shall be doing. Only difference is that we are starting across the bridge in Thornbury, so will end up being nearly 200km!

Hmm, i might come depending how much train tickets are on payday.

Sadly, in the region where I live, there don't ever appear to be (or have been) any CC Rides. To take part in any CC run, I have to travel a fair way.

I've done only one CC Run; it was in Yorkshire and organised (very efficiently) by ColinJ. I had a great time !

Since Hereford is 'only' 70 miles away, this feels as if it's on my doorstep.

Frankly, the main difficulty of any ride, is getting to the starting point on time. In which region do you live ? It might be the case that another CCer can give you a lift. (If North of Hereford, I may possibly give you a lift)

If you do this ride, I'm sure that you'd be pleased that you decided to do it.

Stop 'faffing about' and get your name down !

Add me to the list please - then Pubrunner can rest easy that it'll be me, not him, that's holding everyone up.

Dont worry the tail end charly position could be hotly contested

 

[Glover Fan]

Hope you all have a good ride. Do not underestimate the gospel. I did, but I did manage it all the way up.

Don't worry, as I try and keep a good 18mph average pace... everyone will be tail end charlies!

When he s going downhill

 

[BrumJim]

Was feeling quietly confident about not embarassing myself, given the recent dash for the bottom of the climbing league table. Until I remembered that I haven't attacked a decent elevation for over a month.

Oh, well.

What gearing were you using ?

Just how steep is Gospel ? (I'm not sure if I could 'get by' on 34 X 25 or go for a bike with 34 X 28)

I'll be there too
