I will be using a Michelin Pro Race 4 25mm on the front in an attempt to get the best grip on the descents. Wonder what other people will be using. Down hill grip will be important in one or two place on the ride.  :thumbsup:

My usual summer rubber - GP 4000S II

I will try and compare will's gpx against mine and see if we have any deviation. Save downloading then until as late as possible and there is as much chance as ever that I have got them something like right.

I have installed an old friend and will be rocking a Caradice for the first time in a couple of years. Man their shit is good.

100+km today to check the bike out with new cables and stuff. All good. Try and take it easy this week, except for a velodrome session on Wednesday  :facepalm:

So, weather?
Right! What's next?

Ooooh. That sounds like a daft idea.  I am in!

Marcus, if you want another set to look at mine are below. But I checked against yours and didn't see any differences.

There are differences between Will's and the routesheet in Lancaster, Keswick and Ambleside.

Just for clarity, are you saying there is a difference between Will's gpx and the routesheet or that Will's is true to the routesheet and there is a difference between those and the gpx files from diesel and myself?

The event information is more or less the same as before. It's the route instructions that are different. There's about 35 more to send to entrants by email.

Hi Andy, I haven't received an email.  Have they all now been sent?

I've not compared the gpx files. Will's takes a small short cut in Lancaster. Turns left later in Ambleside than on the route sheet. And takes a more main road-y route into Keswick. I don't know if these are intentional or not, but I modified it to match the route sheet for my own use.

Diesel has you riding against the traffic on one-way streets.

Small correction. I left the Lancaster short cut in.

Hopefully I have managed to avoid one way street transgressions. Not easy in RWGPS sometimes.

 I used a OSM base map and the did not spot any oneway errors when I compared them (3rd day not checked)

agree, any I have will be down to the nuances of RWGPS and hopefully obvious to stay on the right road

I have skimmed over them all in both OSM and Google and not spotted any challenges. I think that my routes are pretty true to the route sheet, they should certainly get you to each of the controls anyway.  But, should they not, I make no apologies.

We are all supposed to be self sufficient, so if a GPS route sends you up a one way street, then you'll have to work it out yourself!

Thanks Andy

Any idea on sizing for these - are they generous for the stated size or tight?

I have a 38" chest and the Force GB Medium i have is a snug fit, so i've gone for a Large this time

Large is too big  :facepalm:

Anyone got a Medium that is too small for them and would like to swap?
Exactly the same situation here - I have a large which I will happily swap for a medium if anyone is interested (drop me a PM).

^ all my shit in one place

I had a look at the places where I noted differences in Will's GPX.

Your route through Lancaster matches the routesheet.
Through Ambleside is the same as Will's. The routesheet has L at TL SP Keswick. You continue straight on, to bear left into the one way system. They are very similar in terms of distance.
Through Keswick, you match the routesheet.

These differences are largely academic, except that if riding in a group, people may be going different ways.

I've only been through the first 500km so far. I'll look at the remainder tomorrow or Wednesday.

I'd love to be able to throw my Kinesis 4S Disc down those hills with hydro brakes and fat tyres but it's looking extremely likely the poor PX will be out again.

We're not going up that track to the Tan Hill again are we? Sense of humour failure waiting to happen up there ;)

You could go this way to recreate the Sleightholme experience. It's a lot flatter, too...

No because your e-mail keeps bouncing however, I sent you a copy in the post this morning.

You can also print a copy off here at: https://millepenninesaudax.com/event-information/

I do have your entry though.

"The Munster Ave parking mentioned in the Info, is it likely to be ok to leave a car all weekend? Where is it on here?"

I can't see any parking restrictions.
