www.epic-cycles.co.uk/SpringChallenge.htmlRode this last year and just entered again, great little event, quite hilly but a very fast final 15 miles. Starting from Ludlow, tends to fill fairly fast with 200 rider limit.

I've entered this too. Should be a decent workout ahead of the season.

Is this the one that goes over that flippin big climb 'tother side of Knighton? I rode that a few years back with a whole load of Wyre Forest guys; Andy Overton/Dave Barnes/Paul Prince and others - they all buggered off when we hit the hill. Other than that testing bit of road it was quite a nice event but I'm not in the UK then as it is Mallorcan sun for me, but good luck to those that are riding.

That's not quite the same route Dave, but its in the same area... I rode it last year and blasted round it... great route, but I will be doing a 2up 25TT on the same day in Port Talbot... so I won't be able to make it this time.  |

Isn't the Evesham Vale RR also on this date? WFCRC should be turning up 'en masse' and smashing the field! ;D Either way I shall be in sunny Majorca  (Hopefully  ) getting faster... unless distracted by 3 cafe stops too many!!  |

Just wondering how difficult a ride this is? I only ask as I'm riding the Wiggle No Excuses 80 miler the day before and wondered how manageable it is? Also my birthday on the 17th so don't fancy falling to pieces riding around! |

It's got some good hills in it but after seeing you ride a couple of times you will be fine on it. If you go out with a fast group, just be carefull you don't blow up on one of the big climbs, much better to get all the way round in a group !

Cheers Andy, I may have a go at it. I might enter a the last minute if I can, it's the big 42 for me next Sunday. Will see how the 80 miler on Saturday goes. You are right concerning the fast group, could be in a world of hurt if I ran out of steam. Thanks again

That's a bummer, just checked and entry is now closed. Oh well but it does mean I get out on a 'monkey' ride with you guys hopefully.  |
