HONC 2019, who's going?

Re: Re:

Are we having a meet up at the start?

I'm kipping just outside the village but within walking distance to the pub on the Saturday night if anyone fancys some pre ride hydration

See you there mate

I hope to do the 100km, but meeting al the day before, so I may just turn up, sober up, before eating all the chips before everyone gets back!

Re: Re:

I did 75km last year but think I might be feeling more like 50km this time.

I did a 50k yesterday and it felt like 80 So, I was thinking to keep it fluid regarding distance on the day. i.e. Get to the first split and plan from there, similarly, at the halfway point. AFAIR, last year was a long (but very slow) front half followed by a short (but equally slow) back half.

I'm up for meeting up at the start or riding as part of a Retrobike crew if anyone wants to?.

Sounds great, but i’ll be slow.

Similarly, I’ll be arriving Friday, so am up for beers and a ride on Saturday.

Yes probably a good idea to keep it fluid, weather can also play a big part I suppose. I don't mind riding slow but I might ride modern unless we're having a Retrobike ride out.

I might not get there until late Saturday so definitely won't be up for a ride and maybe not beers either but that may change!

There is a bog standard Chinese takeaway and a chip shop both just around the corner from the white hart in North Street, plus a good bakery and coffee shop

What’s the name of the pub that does the Thai food?

 

[The History Man]

It's the downstairs area of the café/bar opposite the white hart - Rosie's

If you’re ever behind me, you’ll definitely pass me, but I may or may not be wearing baggies.

Well if the dry weather carries on like this your probably better off on a full sus bike!

Thanks THM on the food front, i quite the sound of a Thai washed down with a couple of ciders.
