The Big Leeds bike ride
Event info
A challenging ride from Leeds to York and back to raise money for Leeds Children’s Hospital. Starting from Roundhay there's a choice of 100 or 50 miles along quiet country roads to York. The shorter route goes back to Leeds and the long route heads north to the Howardian Hills then back to the finish where you can enjoy refreshments, music and massage - and a well earned rest! This event features chip-timing and web results so after the event, you can see your overall time and average speed along with the opportunity to compare your time with your friends.
Start/Finish Venue: Soldier's Field (Roundhay Park), Park Ave., Leeds, LS8 2JH
Start time: 7.00 - 9.00am
Distance: 50 and 100 miles
Advanced entry fee: £22.50
Official Charity: Leeds Children’s Hospital

I tried to make a thread announcing a league code for Velogames, but it seems to have been banished to the aether. The code is 620099424
Speed has nothing to do with it...
I agree! I'd keep the ban and remove powermeters as well, personally, though I'd keep radios for safety reasons.
not always if the card processing system glitches or the authentication keys arent accepted for whatever reason, or the system thinks its a fraud...
It looks great. My pockets probably aren't deep enough sadly.
