Hi Chris
as of today there are now 175 entries for Sunday and a few others planning to enter on the day.
There are 30 club members riding it. Weather forecast is fine and sunny at 23 degrees so should be good. I have just cleared Morrisons of their bumper packs of bananas for the feed.

Now that I've had a chance to eat my late lunch I thought I'd say how much I enjoyed today's event. After a slow start and walking up Rockingham and Harringworth hills, amongst others,  I eventually hit a bit of late energy and rode more strongly through the villages after Harringworth to the Southwick hill top finish.
Must get some 'proper' training in to get round more quickly next time, especially hill work...
I eventually found a couple of riders I could keep up with. I hope they come back next year with more than '20 miles last weekend' in their legs! 
A few words of thanks to all those club members who organised and ran the sportive. Many thanks to Ian Wild for having the idea and running it so well. Thanks to the club member who sorted my chain and gears out. I met him again in the village hall but his name escapes me, must be the heat! Thanks to all the club members who shouted words of encouragement, advice and, at one hill, a friendly push in the back. Big thanks to all the cake bakers! An amazing selection of goodies at the feed station! 
Cheers to one and all!
