Last years event was great despite the wind (the day before the UK hurricane was forecast) - nice rolling route, good atmosphere and nice venue!
I should be signing up again this year as long as hwmbo stamps my leave pass......
Yes, last year's wind and rain made it very interesting...the sight of the chap in full Sky gear clacking about in his cleats pushing his Pinarello up a 'hill' while I cruised by on my old 70s five speed Peugeot will stay with me for ever.I should be signing up again this year as long as hwmbo stamps my leave pass......
And while you don't get to ride the circuit as mentioned before, the base of the ride is in the infield so you do get a real feel of being 'at' the circuit and can get a bit of atmosphere.

I'd be up for that. If people don't want to 'pay to cycle on public roads', then don't. They are welcome to try and organize another PH cycling weekend. I was gutted we couldn't make it happen this year
Does anyone know what happened to the PH cycling weekend deposits?
They were paid back. I got mine back. Does anyone know what happened to the PH cycling weekend deposits?

PM me your address and I'll sort it out, you sent me a cheque rather than paypal didnt you?
I may even buy a PH jersey especially for the event.
SIlverstone is quite convenient for me as its only 50 miles up the road, but for the sake of convenience I would probabaly stay the night in a local travelodge or similar.
Rooms are currently £22, which is a bargain

I really enjoy the Wiggle Sportives. They are well organized and the feed stops are always well stocked with good stuff like oreos, jaffa cakes, flap jacks, biscuits and similar. The Magnificat on Sunday last week was great fun. I also managed to get a gold
This is the one I booked;

There's a premier inn called the green man too which is fairly close to the circuit, in case the prices have gone up on the travelodge.
I'll be coming from Kent and probably won't get going until late in the evening so doubt I'll make dinner/drinks the previous night - so will see you all in the carpark on the saturday morning I guess
