Mat, your photo above reminds me of last year's Flat Out in the Fens...

The end or beginning of your journey....

Great Snowplough

Sella Pass in the Dolomites, part of the route taken by the Maratona Dles Dolomites. Awesome place to ride a bike.

@ frenchie - that photo explains your love of the flat lands ;-)

markn13:23 Mon 30 Jan

this photo explains my love of the lumps!
(Bushcombe Lane 25%, Gloucestershire. climbed in my youth on a 42:21)

@markn You may have limited experience of Brittany: The Monts d'Arree in winter; old & chubby, sure, but they can hurt.

Nor have experienced the North Atlantic wind and its sapping power. But, yes, once a rouleur...

frenchie13:43 Mon 30 Jan

Wrynose East done in my youth also on a 42x21. Could you get bigger cassettes back then or were we stupid?

guy14:07 Mon 30 Jan

we were considered less than manly for having a 21... the hardmen rode 12-18 straight through cassettes

markn14:20 Mon 30 Jan

Jeez, it was bad enough getting up Wrynose on a 21! I was beyond square pedalling, I had gone to rhombus!

guy14:35 Mon 30 Jan

Okay you can put your willies away now

mikew14:40 Mon 30 Jan

It hadn't formed when I cycled up there, that is why I was light enough to do it on a 42x21!

guy14:42 Mon 30 Jan

Ha ha... agree with that guy. i wasn't weighed down by adulthood either.

markn14:47 Mon 30 Jan

I've done Wrynose on my Dahon Helios, 3-4 years ago. True!

This may be omitted from this year's PR due to excessive moss adding to the danger. Would be a shame as I always think it is the start of the race proper.
