Thanks for posting this; it looks to be right up my street.

I grew up in Stowmarket.

I noticed there is an entry fee but refreshments are on sale. You mean they don't come with the entry? Presumably you don't need to get sponsorship. Are you doing the Suffolk Sunrise as well?

There is an entry fee but you don't HAVE to raise extra cash although a sponsorship form is provided if you want to.

Last year some of the marshal points we're giving out free squash/water to riders but there was a cafe back at the start/finish selling hot and cold food etc. Fair enough I think - it is a fundraiser afterall
I'm also told that free bananas will be on offer at half way on the 2 longer rides this year.

No we're not doing the sunrise but ARE doing the London2Brighton too.
I think the 'Villages' ride will be good this year. It's run by Stow Lions volunteers and they're getting better at organising it.

See you there?

I have just noticed on your profile page that you ride a recumbent. Would you be using it for this ride? It would be great to see some interesting bikes on the day!

Haha! Well that should be enough time to get limbered up. There's always the 45k if you didn't fancy the 75k!

My wife has signed up to do this one with me. It'll be her longest ride ever and the first since last July! Hopefully the weather will be better that the Suffolk Sunrise, 6:15 in the car park at Woodbridge FC in the rain and I was not a happy man!

 

[OliverAmoros]

Weather was perfect last year so fingers crossed eh? We're doing the L2B the week before so that should suffice for training :/

Closing date for entry 21st June 2010!

For all those interested in doing this years ride the closing date for entry is just 3 weeks away! You can download an entry form here.
