Just an early update on my October 27th 2019 rides out of Petworth.

The Petworth End of Summer Time 200
07:30 GMT from Petworth Pound Street Carpark
https://www.audax.uk/event-details?eventId=7216

Unlike this years Petworth Start of Summer Time 200 this is NOT a BRM registered event.

The Petworth End of Summer Time 100
08:00 GMT from Petworth Pound Street Carpark
https://www.audax.uk/event-details?eventId=7217

This is a revised version of the ride with a shorter Stage 1 that avoids the A29, but does take in Bedham Hill. Stage 3 avoids the long section of A283
at the start and no more climbing of Henley Hill to the INFO. However, the stage is slightly longer to ensure you get full value.

The Petworth End of Summer Time 50
09:30 GMT from Hampers Green Community Centre
https://www.audax.uk/event-details?eventId=7218

This is expected to the the last running of this event owing to low take up. At least I have a lot of spare cards!

Entry form and details of the above rides can be found on the Audax UK Calendar pages by following the links

All include in the price Coffee/Tea plus Bickies at the start, one or more feeds when visiting the Hampers Green Community Centre and at the finish.

No Entries on the line for the 100 or 200.

All rides will be validated at the end of the ride.

West Sussex. On the junction of the A272, the A283 and the A285. A nice part of the world.

I'm sure it's very lovey.

It would be even lovelier if you could tow it a hundred miles or so towards the Midlands. West Mids preferably. Worcestershire would be ideal, thanks...

A bit beyond my organising skills - sorry

Its the riders I feel sorry for, one minute they are riding tempo back to the Arrivee then they confronted by signs telling them they are near Worcester

yes they're a bit like that in Petworth

Fair play to Anton for putting these rides on

not many 200k rides in this area now. Lots near Worcester though if you count Blacksheep's

AJB · « **Reply #7 on:** 05 September, 2019, 06:38:37 pm »

I’ve managed to do a route check of the revised Pet EoST 100 last week

Amended RouteSheet and GPS tracks, based on this ride, have been uploaded to the AUK Entry Site.

I’ll be doing the final route check closer to the ride date.

Regards

Entries to the 200 are coming along nicely, but the uptake for the 100 is very low compared to previous years.

Would riders prefer me to reinstate Henley Hill back into the route?

I'm seeing the same for the MSH events

AJB · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 September, 2019, 02:49:42 pm »

Hopefully I’ll make the MSH this year, but will be a full value rider. 😃

AJB · « **Reply #11 on:** 25 September, 2019, 04:52:05 pm »

I'll be asking those riders who have already entered the 200 directly, but if anyone is thinking of entering the 200, and comes from Brighton Sussex, would they be willing of giving another 200 rider a lift to the start of the ride?

Anton

Martin · « **Reply #12 on:** 26 September, 2019, 12:01:18 am »

entered 200

sorry don't live near Brighton

AJB · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 September, 2019, 10:24:01 pm »

Entry received and the request for a lift all sorted

Anton

AJB · « **Reply #14 on:** 06 October, 2019, 09:05:18 am »

Entries to the 200 coming in quicker than expected and may consider closing sooner than planned.

Still plenty of spaces on 100 and 50 rides

Anton

bludger · « **Reply #15 on:** 06 October, 2019, 12:25:16 pm »

I was very interested in the 200 but can't see how I could practically be at the start point from south London. Did consider riding down the night before and wild sleeping but the weather can't be relied on. Good luck with the riders.

AJB · « **Reply #16 on:** 12 October, 2019, 07:28:14 pm »

I will need to close the entries to the Petworth EoST 100 and 200 on Sunday October 20th instead of the planned Wednesday October 23rd. Earlier if they fill.

Unlike previous years I cannot be flexible with this date and allow later entries

I’m thinking about coming out of retirement for this one

I’d only be up for the 100k at this stage but it’s not too far from home. Don’t think it looks like it can be the easiest one to start back with but hopefully I will be able to make it 😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hope you can make it. An alternative if not sure about the 100 would be the Pet EoST 50.

However, compared to previous years the removal of Henley Hill and Bexley Hill this year's Pet EoST 100 is easier.

Entries for the Pet EoST 100 and 200 close after this weekend

Lady Cavendish · « **Reply #21 on:** 17 October, 2019, 09:16:31 pm »

I can definitely ride 60-70 miles, it’s just that since I gave birth I haven’t really cycled up many hills 😱😱🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ so that will be the struggle! I’ll enter now though I think, been thinking about it for a couple of days so just going to get it done.

Lady Cavendish · « **Reply #22 on:** 17 October, 2019, 09:28:15 pm »

Oh, need to wait for my new AUK number to come through first :-/ I’ve just rejoined

AJB · « **Reply #23 on:** 17 October, 2019, 10:33:08 pm »

Ok

Looking forward to your entry

Anton

AJB · « **Reply #24 on:** 18 October, 2019, 09:55:56 pm »

Just a reminder that after this weekend entries to the 100 and 200 will close.

The 200 may close earlier since down to my last few blank brevet cards.

Plenty of cards still for the 100
