Which route are you doing?

I'm doing the 80k "Challenge" ride - it'll be the first organised event I've ever done, although I've done this distance plenty of times solo.

I got my entry because my brother in law's brother has a team in from his work - a couple of riders pulled out, so he offered us the places. Quite looking forward to it now.

That looks like a cracking route.

I can't remember there being any climbs along the route but it is uphill all the way back from Uttoxeter!

btw, theres a few busy quick / roads. (They should be fine on Sunday morning though).

Watch the junctions around Clayton. The A500 and M6 meet here so you get a lot of HGV and cars travelling at motorway speeds.

Likewise going into Stone and crossing the A34.

Thanks for the tips redbike - never been over that way, so worth knowing!
