Anyone doing this one?

I'm doing it with a mate, using it as a lead into the Bike Radar jaunt and other Sportives later in the summer.

yeah i am... only the 50 miler
signed up for it quite a while ago but have signed up for another sportive which is 80 miles and i think a lot hillier so this should seem quite relaxing by comparison!
3rd may isn't it?

if you look at the route though VC, you see that bit where it goes north of the A14 and does that funny loop? i can't help feeling there's opportunity to cheat there! I wonder if they'll have someone making sure no-one takes a shortcut...

Sorry Bonj, missed your reply.

I know the loop bit well and it should be easy to spot anyone making a crafty left turn instead of right.

I should be easy to spot, I'm in the bright orange Orbea shirt

I've rode part of the route, and the last 15 miles was clearly set by a sadist, you will enjoy the bit from Althorpe to the end.
