Maxifuel Longest Day Cycle Sportive-90km
Event info
This event will be on a SATURDAY and will be the third year that this event is running with some amazing riding around the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire Countryside with plenty of opportunities for Coffee Stops...
If you are looking for a southern sportive to take part in for 2013, that starts and finishes from THE Olympic Rowing venue of the 2012 Olympic Games.
DETAILS
It is geared!!! towards every type of rider with rolling hills - well sort of - there is just under 3500ft of elevation in the 90km ride, with 460ft on one of the hills.
The hills are really not as bad as they sound.
The best part is the 20% descent only 25km from the end of both routes. So definitely some great decents and some easy flats.
F3 Events have teamed up with Maxifuel to target two distances of 90km & 180km.
Great training distances and pre event preparation.
We have booked good weather again so it should be a good one!
FACILITIES
Free Parking, Toilets, Massage, Hot drinks, MaxiFuel Nutrition, Red Bull, Music, Great Atmosphere, Electronic Chip Timing

Yepp, I would much rather be looking at large car parks right in front of a beach, filled with oversized cars, which is the usual alternative. ...
The truth is than in the Netherlands that I saw them, they were indeed a bit huge for cycle infra. However they were rather rare.
Race you there!
Those calipers arent the prettiest. Makes them look like Post-mount.
I'm all for a much more socialist approach to the sorts of things you mention, where there are clear market failures and a need for decent...
Zorbing balls - if it saves just one life
12 corners in just over 2km is a terrifying prospect if it rains!
