Hi Ced, Could I join you tomorrow too? My plan is to turn off towards Long Marston after 20 miles or so, so happy to do my own thing and make way for someone else if they plan to ride with you for the whole route.

Hi Ian - looks great.
What % goes to the charity/your fundraising? I've been meaning/waiting to make a donation and be good to know what the split is. This looks like a good way to enter an event and make a donation in one.
Is the entry the same price for juniors/juveniles?

Sheepwalks is v. steep, but you miss it by taking Beacon Lane. Did you not fancy my ride to Bridgnorth? :) ...or did you not see it? Don't mind if you'd prefer ...
