I've decided I'm not tired, cold or wet enough - and have therefore just entered this:

It'll be my 3rd ever sportive, and the longest and hillyest too (last one was cat and fiddle challenge). The good news is that it's my first sportive on an actual road bike, so it'll be dead easy (I hope...)

The bad news is that the best I can hope for is "no ice". This in itself might be wishful thinking! Have just gone to the devil (Wiggle) and ordered a waterproof jacket, hopefully I'll be reet.

Any other PHers doing it?

No Hardknott and Wrynose? Big girly ride.

I'm not doing it because I'm far too manly and in no way because I am too fat and unfit.

(It's a wonderful part of the world. Looks great!)

Only 57 miles too. Lovely roads round there though.

I wish some of these were a bit nearer to me.
