Regroups will occur at the top of each climb so that no-one will be left behind, and there are 'bail out' (rest) options at the base of numerous climbs if required en-route.

7am - Sign On so that we can get a record of all participants (for future bragging rights of course)

7.15am - Riders briefing

7.30am - The wheels will turn

All supporters, well wishers, comedy fans, are welcome to come and watch the carnage...I mean fun...

If anyone is interested in providing some event support by way of a sag wagon to carry some additional drinks and take some photos / video, that would be terrific - please let me know.

Supported by Red Berry Espresso - join us there before and after the ride for a coffee.

This is an unassisted social ride. You should have your own insurance, helmet and spares.

Comment by Adam Williss on July 24, 2012 at 10:03: For practicality, it may be better parking at Red Berry Espresso (the finish point) and spinning up to the Tower Hotel where the briefing will be. Gets the legs warmed up as the climbing starts straight away from the Tower and means that your car will be at the finish waiting for you afterwards. Its not far away.

Comment by scott mccann on July 23, 2012 at 21:40: the starting point is the tower hotel as for parking being a saturday morning the pub might not mind us using their car park
