Sorry to hear of your bereavement Edwin, and thank you for still organising the ride.

I'll be taking the train from West London.

toontra - I got my GPX file from the organiser as an email on 17th April?

If you can't see it - I'm happy to ping you my ridewithgps route copy.

Done  :thumbsup:

Now I need to remember not to change it - because I tend to like the odd bit of byway for variety!

Can you please drop me an email? Since you didnt receive my email, just want to make sure I got a Brevet allocated for you. Thanks !

Due to DNS notices, I have few spare Brevets left on all 3 distances hence opened up the entries again just for today. Please register if you wish to ride on Saturday. :)

Train ticket bought and raring to go.

Looks like the wind is in our favour too - we'll have a strong headwind from Buckingham to Amphill to earn lunch: But that should give us a nice tailwind all the way back to Reading. Provided of course, the weather reads the forecast...

See you all tomorrow.

Fantastic day out!  Fast roads with just enough lanes mixed in.  The wind actually worked well from the NE - not too bad for the first 2 legs and then blown all the way back to Reading on the last.  Felt like I was being pushed over the Chilterns  ;D

Many thanks to Edwin & crew for well-organised event  :thumbsup:

Good to meet you toontra - and thanks for the regular tows into wind!

I need to write several people thank you cards for tows into wind...

The bluebells were incredible - carpets of blue along so many of the lanes. And I loved the evening return through the Chilterns, with the delicate evening light and the fantastic tail wind to allow easy peddaling.

In my tired fugue - I really struggled with two of the info controls: I had clearly added some distance by getting some directions wrong, as my 165km was in the middle of Wendover where there a lot of houses: And there may have been two sides to the war memorial, because I couldn't find one of my names on my photo. doh!

I'll send a grovelling letter to Edwin with my brevet, begging his forgiveness for my dim wittedness!

Thanks toontra and trundle, glad you enjoyed the day out.

Brevets validated and in the post, except for those living locally who will receive a personalised brevet delivery service from the organiser (to save a few more quid for charities)  :)

200 route looks lovely. Is there overnight accommodation at the start?

Unfortunately there is no provision in the hall for overnight stay. That said, happy to help if you'd DM me with some details.

All those who entered should have received the gpx, route sheet etc by now. If you havent please check the spam folder. I still have a few Brevets left on all 3 rides hence please enter if you're up for type 2 fun  :D

Thanks to Edwin and team for organising such a great event. The route was lovely and passed through places that brought childhood memories. Hospitality was top notch. Curry at the end was fabulous. I'll definitely return for next year.

Entered 200.  Looking forward to my first audax following an unfortunate series of health-related nonsense  ::-)

(especially now my decrepit-person's Freedom card gets me from London to Reading on the Elisabeth Line FOC!)
