I see the groups AL-EL are quite big , +/- 250 - 300 people, and the front groups are just for the licensed racing bunches.

 

There will be plenty wheels to suck so no worries there

Thanks. I see my seeding is 46.51

I never thought tom look on the ppa site as I have never done any ppa races.

I see mrs chainsaw will be mixing it up with the pros at the front so will have an early start. That gives us quite a while to hang out until the pleb bunches start.....

Where do you see the group sizes

The results from last years race show the total number in each group. From A down there are around 300 per group.

I just drove the M7 between the M4 and N2, there are many holes and cracks on the centre and left lane that hasn't been filled properly. I see they tried patching up the big ones but haven't done a good job of it.

 

There is also, what looks like maize spilled at the intersection of South Coast Road and Edwin Swales so just need to be careful here.

 

So just stay on the right lane all the way through on the M7 until you get to the climb. For the out of towners that means as soon as you get onto the concrete stretch of road keep right.

I did see somewhere on the website that the marshals are actually going to direct the riders onto the right hand side of the concrete section.

Time to join the club I think...

 

I'm still not feeling a 100% so I might just take advantage of the full road closure and do it as a social ride.

 

Only managed 2 rides in the last 10 days so that's abit of a problem.

yea i am in the same boat 2 rides in 14 days was battling stomach bug. Had a ride yesterday though and am feeling ok. ...must say not knowing the route or the roads at all and hearing of holes etc makes me nervous... Just follow the locals ????
