So sad Mike L, you'll be missed! Poor timing indeed. Can the planets not be re-aligned so that you can join us? I know there are a lot more takers out there for this ever-so-awesome event. Please do sign up sooner rather than later, simply for logistics. And BTW Blake, you're absolutely in. I simply...

Mike - the route that is linked to in the original post.

Blake - I'd suggest getting out on your fixie on the road a little before tackling the century. I often do Saturday Slowies on mine.

Can I do it fixed and do we get to eat steak while supping on Rosso Antico? Whatever that is - just something that I recall always being behind the bar at my local Black Stump in the 1980s.

Start a list! If the people who've indicated interest (or anyone else) jump on, and you make it to four, then all good. Otherwise Sam & Dylan will hook you up with some people. It's worth asking around at the cafe too - lots of people won't know about it.
