Maxifuel Longest Day Cycle Sportive-90km
Event info
This event will be on a SATURDAY and will be the third year that this event is running with some amazing riding around the Berkshire and Buckinghamshire Countryside with plenty of opportunities for Coffee Stops...
If you are looking for a southern sportive to take part in for 2013, that starts and finishes from THE Olympic Rowing venue of the 2012 Olympic Games.
DETAILS
It is geared!!! towards every type of rider with rolling hills - well sort of - there is just under 3500ft of elevation in the 90km ride, with 460ft on one of the hills.
The hills are really not as bad as they sound.
The best part is the 20% descent only 25km from the end of both routes. So definitely some great decents and some easy flats.
F3 Events have teamed up with Maxifuel to target two distances of 90km & 180km.
Great training distances and pre event preparation.
We have booked good weather again so it should be a good one!
FACILITIES
Free Parking, Toilets, Massage, Hot drinks, MaxiFuel Nutrition, Red Bull, Music, Great Atmosphere, Electronic Chip Timing

It seems that virtually all of their road tyres are now prefixed 'One', which I think is counterproductive....
We can see whether we need to build more houses once we have used up the estimated (Local Government Association) 1,000,000+ unoccupied homes...
Oh - I wondered if I was running the right pressure. Perhaps someone has some thoughts on what that might be for a road bike?

👍🏼 IMHO, one of the main things to look out for is butted tubes, double or even tripple butted. ride safe and have a great Christmas
TRP cable-actuated hydraulic calipers, haven't tried them myself but reviews generally rate them as better than cable-only brakes such as Sora. I...

They should read scampercraft and not exaggerate the danger of scuttling along. I discourage squirrel predation by acting like one.
