Badlands Gravelcross Sportive 18 November

[andrewnewman]

I'm thinking of doing this. 75KM in the Chilterns, starting in Princes Risborough. Anyone else up for it?

I don't actually have a gravel bike, but I have it on reliable authority that a cross bike will do.

I could be. I actually have a road orientated gravel bike, and an MTB hardtail to ride. Choices choices...

Sounds damn good fun, but I don't have a car so wouldn't make the registration or start. Trains don't arrive early enough

[andrewnewman]

I'll likely take a ZipCar from Crouch End. We can usually stack two bikes in the back, so let me know if you want to split the cost.

Sounds like a hybrid. Does it have a basket and a bell?

[NikTsoutsos]

That works with me Andrew, I'm Palmer's green so easy enough to go to and from. I'll bring a 26" hardtail MTB I have, with CX tyres it eats up terrain, albeit a little heavy. It's with semi road gearing so should smash it up. I take it we're talking the 70k route?

[andrewnewman]

Sounds good. I'll PM you as the date approaches and we can sort out the details. And yes, I've signed up for the long route.

[NikTsoutsos]

Cool. I've just registered, looking forward to it.
