Start just by the Velodrome at Stratford E15 and ride to Stratford-upon-Avon - fully supported with overnight hotel package etc ... it's 100 miles or so on quiet roads.

All the details and online entry at www.macride-tour.org.uk - some places left for the London start.

It's doable on a fixed/single-speed ... no real hills ... I'm doing the recce ride at the end of March and plan to ride fixed.

Rob

Just 12 places left on the 100 miler, more on the 100 km but not many

With four weeks to go there are only a few places left for the 100 mile Sportive version, more for the 100km but filling fast.

If you want to ride, enter now - I'm certain that there'll be no entering on the day (and you save money entering in advance)

The routes have been finalised and will be on the website at www.shakespeare100.org.uk during w/c 23 August as .gpx files and route sheets.

Event jerseys are almost sold out too, only about 15 left.

Rob

Lots of entries coming in for these events - looks like we'll have to limit on-the-day entries again this year - enter soon at the websites - and enhance your summer riding experience with one of our event jerseys - all the money goes to Macmillan Cancer Support

Hi,
Would love to enter one of those (can't do both on the same day!), probs Mac ride. Just got a road bike with actual gears so charity rides are very much what I want to do.

Might be an idea to enter sooner rather than later - entries are flooding in and we're expecting to have to close before the day - and don't forget we have a fantastic event jersey for 2010 at just £25 (and ALL the money from the jerseys goes to the charity, thanks to the sponsors)

Yep - I'm in Stratford - very much a touring, leisure and pleasure rider - but I do ride a fixed from time to time (bright orange Claud Butler with bullhorn/chopped drops) ... I'm the nut with the 14 or 15 bikes that lives in the houses opposite The Greenway.

Oh, and I organise the MacRide - www.macride.org.uk and the Shakespeare 100 Sportive - www.shakespeare100.org.uk - both on Sunday 12 September 2010.

Chiltern does a real cheap deal after about 1100 - no ticket, you book online and they send a barcode by text to your phone and the ticket guy on the train reads that - brilliant

Rob

Are you sure Lee Cooper still does his own painting ... I thought he only did frame building now he's moved from Far Gosford St?

Rob

One of the hills is simply not possible on a fixed .... it's hard enough with gears!
