Comment by Dale (rouleur) Riggs on May 7, 2012 at 16:07: If I'm the only one confirming attending this I might actually pull the pin myself and opt for Thursday, that is, unless I hear different tonight.

Comment by Dave, Lewiston on May 7, 2012 at 14:02: Sounds like you had a ripper tailwind on the way back, Matthew. Hope that made up for some of the pain.

Comment by Ol' Dr. Cadence (Mathew) on May 7, 2012 at 13:40: Well, it will be on again next May as it an annual type of a thing. AVO(real name Steven) is the man you would want to speak to for this sort of punsihment, he posted this ride on the event pages for like months. Besides the fact this ride is over and dusted...AVO is certianly not finished and has more rides to come, at a simular crazy pace and possibly the same distance.

Comment by Andrew M on May 7, 2012 at 11:44: 296kms at 40kph/ave ?! Where do I sign up?

Comment by Ol' Dr. Cadence (Mathew) on May 7, 2012 at 11:37: I was devastated on my Tour De Clare ride, at the lack of any energy and/or any fitness. I managed a 31km/h avg over the total 2 days of 296kms, whereas AVO and Peter Short from GWs had an Average of 40km/h...i as usual tried to maintain it with the fast pack, didnt last for long. I ended up in between the moderate group and the fast group in no mans land, until i gave in and dropped back to the mod squad. Continuous Choking fits and drowzy/dizzy spells sent me on a ride of a lifetime, in a different sense that i had intended on. I realise now...i probably shouldnt have Perservered through such a ride, knowing of my condition, but im as stubborn as you will ever meet at times. Sorry, guys if i dont make it...not sure, should start thinking about looking after myself....i suppose.

Comment by Pete (repeats ?) Roberts on May 6, 2012 at 18:07: Hi Guys,
I have now managed to 'free up' Thursdays, so from now on I will be attending Gavin's Spin Class at Avanti Salisbury on a Tuesday (6.30pm), and taking up Thursday SOBr. This way I get two workouts during the week + GW on a Saturday.
