Sport Relief Cycle, 23rd March 2014

[Ollie W]

Just wondering if anyone else fancied this? It's a 3/25/50 mile ride, either in Glasgow, Manchester or London, and it's (obviously) for Sport Relief. I'm aiming for the 25 mile one in London as I don't think I'll be quite in a fit state for 50 miles by then!

Yes I'm hoping to do this I would like to think I'm fit enough for the 50 mile but in reality I'm not!!

Half price enters, no closed roads though

Booked in for the final departure of the 25 miles in Glasgow. Would love to have done the 50, but no public transport can get me there early enough - and I'm not cycling to get there as a warm up!

I'm booked in for the 50 miler for this. Does anyone have a detailed map of the route, as the one on the page is pretty poor. I'd like to get it into my Garmin and maybe do a part of it before the event. I think I can make out the route from outwith Glasgow itself but unsure within the built up areas from the start and to the finish.

I did mention it to SWMBO, but am under instruction that I won't be doing it Hopefully fully fit for a few organised rides next year..

...although thanks to my stupidity in trying to get sponsorship, I'm now cycling the 27+ miles home.

You are aware that none of the entry fee goes to charity?

 

[AdMaths]

Yes. Your point?

I'm doing the 50 in London.

Has anyone got a proper map for this set up anywhere? Interested to see the elevation.

On another forum I have seen this route from Demaharg, he has plotted the route himself tracing from the broad outlines from the original route from SR.

Obviously there is a lot at the beginning and end which should not be included.
But you'll get the gist. Fairly steep from the outset....

 

[Ollie W]

Thanks, I was looking for London but it's nice to know they're feeling like giving us a challenge...
