It will end back at Waterloo/Doggetts pub I expect (we go in a big loop)

Based purely on previous rides this could be around 7pm, but plenty of people stay over

Thanks for the info Griff

I'm looking forward to this one ... Always great for the Nothern Monkeys to come Daan Sarf!
I have to say Buck House and The Mall were particular highlights for me last year

You could always try shagging one of them to get things started (up to you which one

)

Are there going to be some nice stickers for this one Griffster ?

Well there is a design.. Inspired by one of the checkpoints

As per last year, if we can find a friendly sticker supplier to do a run of these they might be worth a small charity donation, what do you reckon?

Of course we'll need to decide which charity to support

factory pilot · « **Reply #34 on:** May 04, 2016, 10:14 PM »

Sounds like s plan Griff.. Looks good mate

dancetothedrummersbeat · « **Reply #35 on:** May 04, 2016, 11:58 PM »

Sounds like a great idea. I'll throw some cash in for charity if it means i can get my hands on a sticker.

It's been emotional.

Not long to go now

get polishing those riders

Just got the ride registered with Macmillan Cancer Care, so we can get a couple of official collection tins

Set up a fundraising page in case anyone fancies donating a few quid online

http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RADBMX

route map will be posted shortly (basically same as last year but with a different pub to replace the Gun)

Looking forward to this

Assassin at the ready! Or maybe the DB pro? $:-\$

Doubt i'll have the GJS done by then

, so it'll be the VDC again

. (I've sorted the seat post, and fitted a retaining nut to the inside of the bullseye spindle to prevent the cranks working loose again). I also got a puncture in my until 10 minutes earlier NOS tyres too. Not a good start to the ride. Thanks to those who helped fix my bike, and to the kind chaps who stopped to help me out and fix the puncture. You were diamonds

My first ever set of mechanical woes, and hopefully the last. Can't wait for this one

Nice one Ant. We were fed like Kings last year. What was that dessert? Gin & tonic 'jelly' (can't remember the posh name), with a popping candy topping.
