60 miles must be something you can build up to within 4 months...right?

Could be tempted to come down if Reg is coming out of retirement?

Might be worth having a look at the Great Western  Sportive as well, if you're looking for a local one. It's normally on fathers day and uses Nationwide on Pipers Way as start/finish.

Couple of notable hills being Hackpen hill and the one coming out of Ogbourne St George.

Is there a web page for this as been tempted in the past,  excuse to visit the county of my family. Are there things like travelodge or Premier Inn in town (sorry it's a bit of a 4D question)

Yes plenty of choice.

So are we having a TEF peloton ?

I could manage the 50Km job, but I've never been one for doing highly organised stuff, preferring to do my own thing.

Ha - could have a jersey done - TEF Cycling Club ensuring that the 80% bollocks quota remains to the fore!

Good stuff - is this the first time you have provided the answer rather than question?  Cheesy

Good on you,  your motivation is better than mine.

Decided to stay in on this nice afternoon and put some Ikea furniture together!

Really chuffed with myself today. I only commute on the bike and only do it when working nights or at weekends. Found out that a bridge on my route is going to be closed for 3 weeks and the best alternate route is over a bloody big hill! So, with great trepidation, I set out this morning to see if I could ride it. Not only did I manage the ride, but after a 30 min break, I did the reverse route! Didn't set any records, but I f*ckin did it! :-)

P.S. Now I want to get a Pinnarello Dogma to see if it will turn me into Martyn Ashton!
