Kinross sportive 2011

Oh dear. I'm getting worried. Everyone else is doing the red route. Have I bitten off more than I can chew!?

I thought you like a challenge...? I'm sure you'll be fine.
If we do this, my boyfriend will definitely do the black, and I guess I may do as well, otherwise I'll be on the red.

Well, that's me signed up. Going for the red route which, that early in the year, might be a bit of a tough ride. Should keep the mind focussed on the training over the winter hopefully.

im signed up as well for the RED route , hopefully i,ll get my fitness back (after 9 weeks off the bike ) b4 then , this will be my 1st ever sportive , after a few charity rides so im really looking forward to it

 

[fimm]

My boyfriend and I are both in for the Black... eeek....

entered the red route but might change it to the black on the day depending how fit i'm feeling

I'm in too for the Black route. I know a lot of the roads well but still want to support the local sportive and hope it's a great success. Look forward to seeing you guys up there, I'll be cycling from my house to the start line - it's a very easy 12 miles.
Magnatom! You'll be fine although unlike the Etape Caledonia the hills are a fair bit harder. Would be even harder doing the route in reverse but this way it keeps most turns left for safety.

For those who may have put off entry to have a think, there are only 6 of the previously allocated individual places left (although they may change some of the team places to individual).

I've signed up to the Black route, though may go for the red one on the day. Nice to see more (relatively) local events.

kfinlay,

Aye I'm sure I'll make it around, but I sense it is going to hurt a wee bit. My winter training will consist of my 23 mile daily commute. I am unlikely to have any time for longer rides. Oh well!

That's impressive. I think it proves that there are plenty of people interested in events like this (locally). If we can get some decent weather I think it will be an excellent day.

So are folk going to be staying in the area or driving up on the day. I'll probably be driving.

 

[adscrim]

Places have now been increased so 93 individual places available!

That will be more than me - I get 2 chances to cycle each week - Friday and Sunday - even then only if it's not raining

. I usually do about 25-30 quick (for me) miles on the Friday then go with the LBS boys on a Sunday and thats anything from 40-70 miles.
So getting around will be fine but as always getting around in a good time is always going to hurt . . . . . . but we wouldn't have it any other way

i've entered the red route and noticed there are 31 places left on the individual entries! i'll now need to get back out on the bike pronto as i've also entered the etape. Been threatening to join a club for ages so now might be the time to do it!!!. I did the etape caledonia this year and this might be an ideal way to test myself prior to next years.

For those on the black route don't worry I'll be behind you all the way.

Signed up for the black route.
