Hope to see you there.

Ann and the kids will be helping out at the start or on a feed station so if you have any potential helpers let us know.

A number of us have entered/are thinking of entering this 85mile cycle race – only 750 places left – sold out last year!  Should be a good fun!  Lots of hills 2,275m’s of climb!!!!!!!!!

Now in its fifth year, this Classic based on the town of Monmouth just across the border in Wales offers 85 miles of the most varied terrain available with three mile climbs followed by 25% walls. Couple this with stunning scenery and all within 25 miles of the start and finish in Monmouth, our route will not only challenge the fittest riders but also offers a great chance for those wanting to ride their first Classic event. The course is designed so that you can shorten your effort at any time should your fitness let you down making it a great way to see the Forest of Dean and ride a sportive at the same time. We offer the opportunity to sign-on on Saturday, collect your numbers and goody bag, and visit our trade area and local attractions in the tented village, which goes on all day Sunday as well. Sign-on opens at 07.30 on Sunday and the trade cafe will be open from 7am for early refreshments and carbo loading. Sunday’s start is between 8-9am with riders set off in small groups. The ride will be timed and have a full mechanical backup service at the start plus en route to try and keep everyone on the road to complete their ride. Two well stocked feeds will keep the nutrition levels up and welcome refreshments await all finishers. The route will be well signposted with our now well proven routing arrows and warning signs to help you have a safe and easy journey. There is plenty of excellent local accommodation plus camp sites within easy reach, so why not make it a weekend and bring the family. This year we will offer free secure overnight bike storage in the start village courtesy of Kryptonite. Unfortunately due to limited free parking, we have to restrict entries to 1000 and therefore we strongly recommend early entry to guarantee your place on this Spring Classic – we sold out in 2009!

We look forward to welcoming both new faces and many returning riders in 2010.

 Thanks to Alex Hayes for sorting this out

 Please bring your own refreshments and any offers of bringing cakes, buiscuits  will be greatly received by all!

Well done to Jer for being Club Member of the year 2009, unfortunately, he will have to relinquish his glory for 2010 to somebody else – as usual we will need nominations for Club Member of the Year 2010  - Please can you send me your nominations and a short bit on why you feel they should be nominated.  If you cannot make the AGM your vote will still count as long as I receive it before 5th Feb.  Once I have a few names I will set up a poll on the message board and you can vote on line – only one vote per person – otherwise it will be a little unfair!
