Pre-Lanza Chiltern training ride

I am not doing Lanza, but i wondered if anyone would be up for a pre-Lanza training ride based in or around the Chilterns?

I know some poss dates in April are already taken with Brighton Mara and White Horse Challenge but does anyone want to get together in March or other dates in April.

Date, distance and route to be decided by consensus

If you're interested, please put your names down on the dates you can do

I am just the thread starter.  Happy for those who are interested to make all the arrangements re date, time, location, distance etc

Possibly. Anything with Barlos on is always a right crack.

it looks really sad for the social life of barley and rafi that they have nothing on at a weekend for weekend after weekend 

On of those weekends is easter 

Yes i am for the easter weekend from the wednesday before to the wednesday afterwards

Nope - ride will be in the morning..... we party at night! Us youngsters can do both

Id be up for a sunday but wont put my name down as i dont even know what im doing next week - any sunday except for easter weekend and the weekend after atm

itll be the closest i get to Lanza

I can look at routes, the only problem I see is that there will be most definitely a spread of talent shall we say!

I did look at a figure of 8 loop before that took in Ivinghoe Beacon and Bison Hill so we could do something like that at our own pace with refreshments at Ashridge afterwards?

Usual caveats .. I may change my mind or swap a session but should be free for those dates and some others during the week, have added the Whitehorse Challenge also as I know quite a few of us are doing that one

I am searching a route up over and around Dunstable downs which are slightly better in hill terms than the sheer drops of the chiltern 100!

Now the last time I looked I thought both Bison and Ivinghoe were on the Chiltern 100? 

I'll check the diary and add myself to the list.

im game too
I'll ride over then get the train back into town.

I will probably be able to make saturdays better than sundays though.

and you are not wrong Ferret Sir, I just didnt think the whole C100 course was Lanza specific, we could find some more rolling hills over t'other way

I am not overly familiar with routes over there but we have Toms Hill, Bison HIll and Beacon Hill all within spitting distance so cant be that bad !

Up for this, March is out for me though.
