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) |

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

This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

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

In 6400 posts it could be as many as three.

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!
