2 day lap of london, 180 miles, 19th may
« on: 20 December, 2011, 01:42:45 pm »
just been sent a link to: http://www.london-revolution.com/2012-ride/

I did the 'ride across britain' with them this year and the organisation, on-route support, food and route marking were absolutely fantastic. 

If anyone wanted a 2-day, 2,500 rider sportive with beer and tents at half-way, then this should be a good one.  It's expensive even compared to Sportives (169 if you go for their full tent / food / logistics option), but if its anything like the RAB then it'll be very well run.

£170 for a night in a tent?  :o OK there is a bag carry and  er, lots of other riders. So it's just like an audax except it's £163 more expensive. Am I missing something here?
Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.

Anyone up for doing it Audax style?
Do two laps and no faffing about with tents, we just keep going. It's a 600k ride.

Indeed. Didn't we have a group from here do something very similar in the course of one day last year?  ;)

well yes, YACF probably isnt the core audience for this kind of ride :)  (especially not you, Mr. TGrinder ::-))

And it'll be running again in 2012!  (23rd June, so put it in your diary Jurek).  :P
