Ridgeway Rouleur sportive - is it an easy enough one ?

Yup, looks like a fairly easy 100 miler. My gauge is <0.7% average gradient is easy, about 1% is a 'normal' ride (works out that way where I normally ride) and anything significantly more is challenging. This is only about 0.5% average gradient.

I'm in a similar position but I can't see why someone who can ride 50 miles couldn't do this taken steadily and with adequate fuelling.

I've pussied out for the 52 mile one, mainly to try and get a mate to come along. Hopefully will be nice ride, and the route looks pretty good

The signposting at a few points wasn't great, I did end up getting lost and doing an extra 2 miles - although on the shorter ride it wasn't too bad!

Looks like they've loaded the rider target times incorrectly as well, as everyone appears to have gotten bronze (am sure they said 3hr25mins was gold for short.. and at 3hr 20 I got bronze) - doesn't really matter but a bit odd.

Seemed a bit quieter than I expected too.
