Suffolk Sunrise 2014

Yeah I know it's pricy but I had such a great time last year I've decided to treat myself to an entry.

I haven't registered yet but I certainly will do. To be honest the incentive of getting a High5 bottle if one signs up in January ain't all that potent.

Anyone else up for this?

I dunno. It IS pricey. But it can only go better this time, right?

Better than three punctures and a shredded tyre? I hope so!

Don't forget the shoe-fail as well

I would if it was cheaper - although it's for a good cause, it is simply too expensive. At the moment there is no sign of sportive entry fees leveling out, as demand is still very high. Who knows what the prices will be in 5 years time - £50 might become the norm by 2020!!! I certainly don't enter anything over £25 now, and even that is a lot and requires budgeting for. I'm also limiting myself to a maximum of 5 events per year, purely based on the high costs.

20% off Action 100 rides if booked before the 14th Feb with the discount code BIKELOVE

That would bring the cost down from £55 to £44 for the sportive option (rather than the fundraiser). Still a bit too rich for me for a sportive when there are cheaper options available, but hopefully that will save for those who are planning to enter.

Sportive or fundraiser option? If you'll sponsor me £30 I might enter

Just noticed it is a totally different route to last year.

I only just noticed that we leave from Fram this year, not Brandeston!

So who is booked in for this?

 

[SimonJKH]

If I can make the start I'll be joining you.

Excellent, hopefully see you in about and hour . I did my last 100 with a buckled back wheel
