The Dartmoor Classic - June 23rd 2013

Just checking to see if anyone else has signed up for 'The Dartmoor Classic' next year?

I was too slow out of the blocks, but am on the wait list for this one.

-- Andy Mc

Hope you're successful.

Did you register for 100km or 100 miles, Mark?

-- Andy Mc

Like a ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’, the 100 miles!!

I've had to re-register as a reserve on British Cycling, so put myself down for the 100 miler, too -- we'll see if they give me a spot

Did you get in Andy?

I've not heard anything from them, Mark, unfortunately.

I just had an email to confirm my ride in the Dartmoor Classic 100 miler. I'm still trying to decide whether or not that's a good thing...

Excellent news, I'll contact you to make arrangements.

Completed the Dartmoor Classic yesterday, horrid weather - cold, strong winds and periods of heavy rain, managed a bronze medal.
107 miles which featured a total of 10,742 ft climbs, some nasty accidents on the steep declines.
I hear 'Flat out in the Fens' was fun!!

Flat out in the Fens was great for the first 70miles. But the last 50 mile with 19-20mph headwind was absolutely energy sapping. Also ended up doing an extra 10 mile as some doughnut stole a sign sending about 40 of us on a detour. So ended up doing 122 miles and got a silver medal. That wind I will never forget. Bring it on next year !!!!!!.
But well done on the Dartmoor Classic which sounded eventful.
