I have these in my audax calendar. Did the shorter one a few years ago which was a nice route. Fancy the longer one this time but that'll mean driving to the start.

Did the 160km last year. Nice route with only one serious climb so a decent way of doing a UKIP style 100 if so inclined.
Away this year so won't be doing it.

I've done this for the last two years at least. Great event and route unfortunately I'll have to miss it this year but highly recommended.

Count me in, signed up for the 160km route.

After a poor 2014 of cycling (less than 3,700 miles), I'm looking to get back into things.

Strongly debating signing up for this, probably will do as a warm-up for a 100 mile sportive I'm doing with friends in Norwich 2 weeks after.
