[iendicott]

Anyone else booked onto this one ?

http://www.ukcyclingevents.co.uk/events/no-excuses-sportive/

I booked it up as soon as it came out and it's a sell out already

I have booked myself on the 80 miler and very much looking forward to it being my first sportive.

Yep booked early on and only doing the 45 miler as it'll be my First sportive so didn't wanna over do it....
Have done the Dunwich Dynamo a few times but take that at a well steady pace with plently of stops too.

Any idea of the route? Can't seem to find any info now it's sold out. Might try and book for next year.

Thanks for that. Over the Spring and Summer used to do a circuit from Caxton, approaching Grafham from a southerly direction via Gamlingay, crossing the A1 around Tempsford , then heading for Keysoe and Kimbolton. Heading through Everton (before the A1) there is quite a descent (or climb from the other direction

). Just curious whether any of this formed part of the route. I'll keep a look out for the route when it's published, then try and get myself sorted for 2012!

The route has been listed but I can't seem to download the GPX files properly anyone else having same problem.

Have emailed the organisers they checked and said it's ok...may have to resort to using only paper route.
