Kent Invicta Grimpeur 100

[martint235]

Anyone up for doing this? It will be my first ever audax. It's the Sunday after the FNRttC to the coast which could mean riding 100 miles with a slight hangover for me but hey it may be fun!

What's this??????

Sorry I meant to put a link in. Here. It's a 100km of ridiculous hills in Kent. As I can't make the Hilly 50 which I believe is the day before this year, I'll be doing the Invicta.

I sent the forms yesterday, so should see you there Martin. Doing a 200 the day before as well!

PS: isn't the hilly 50 on the same day but starting at 10 am? The 100 km seems to be 2 loops of the 50 km route.

When I did it, the second loop is the reverse of the first.
I may be tempted again, thanks for the heads up Martin.

Fairly sure someone said the Hilly 50 is on the 10th this year. It's a shame, I've got unfinished business with the Hilly 50.

It seems to run 30 min after the 100 this year

The Hilly 50 is definitely same day as the Grimpeur 100, I'll be helping as usual

Hi fixedwheelnut, are you sure we're not talking about different Hilly 50s? I, and I think some others on here, have a tendency to mean the C&M Hilly 50 when they refer to the Hilly 50 in March. The C&M is on the Sat I think and I'll be at the end of Friday Night Ride to the Coast in Brighton that day.

I've sent my application off for the Hilly 100 though on the Sunday, the Grimpeur.

See what you mean I organised it for five years, my friend Pat MacMaster is organising them this year.
Both are on March 11th,
Grimpeur riders are set off at 9:30am and Hilly 50 riders at 10:00am

The Cheam & Morden Hilly 50 is on the Saturday day before, many used to ride both on the same weekend
