Outlaw Bike Recce 2013

Last year I did a couple of recce of the bike course which gave me loads of confidence for the day, it really helped knowing what the course was like, it was also reassuring knowing where i was going.

I will be going out again probably Sunday April 5th, if the new bike course isnt up by ( it should be) then I will do a long and short lap of the old course 

If anyone interested sign in below

So we're looking about 80miles? If its one long and one short? What sort of pace are we looking at?

It sound slike a potential to me, otherwise it'll be motion in mercia long route for me

Having talked to Mrs Matt, she wants to work that weekend so I'll be riding the motion in mercia route.

Can we do another weekend? And do a recce of the run as Honk suggested?

i might go down on another weekend as i cant do 7th april, itll prob be the 14th or 28th or might even be in may if its shit weather still, the run route is easy

Im probably still going to go dwon on the 7th, if the weather isnt to bad.

we can park at the Bridge at Gamston which is right near HPP 

Pace wise will be around at about 17 - 18 mph, long and short lap
