Ticketek move over - Ken Dinnerville is coming Tuesday 25th
Getting an entry for this most sought out race is harder than buying a Lady Gaga ticket upon release.
Really good ride, under beautiful highland cliffs, beside paddocks, across horse poo, and along a road which is in a bit of need of resurfacing. Marvel at the ambulance stationed at the bottom of the steep hill on a curve just as you descend!
Seriously great ride, but you will have to be logging in at 9am sharp as it sells out within about 3 to 7 minutes!!!

102km! 4 laps!
I did have unfinished business with this ride after my effort last year. However that's another 16 or 17 additional kilometres that is liable to kill me. I was so deep into the red last year that I was seeing stars. Dammit, not happy Jan!

Dunno, with jimmy whippet a non starter I may have to go it alone.... That's IF we are at the head of the race!!! With all those NRS fellows getting entry we could well be spat out the back by the 2nd lap

As amusing as it would be to see James Bernard time trial away for a 20min solo breakaway, we will get the handicaps sorted and get back to you with an update.
Whilst he's at it, perhaps he could have me started another 15 mins before everyone else. Seeing I did come last and all last year.DHBC Road Captain, James Fowler, is onto this. Liam, what start group do you think you should be in?

The race is quite different this year, we go up the big hill after only a few K's from the start, its important to get your bunch not to gun ho it up there on the first lap. "We are strong together, weak apart"
Think I'm the oldest DHBC rider?

Look, if we can get first and last I'll be happy. Dougie you might have to take one for the team.Whilst he's at it, perhaps he could have me started another 15 mins before everyone else. Seeing I did come last and all last year.

Can't see the new handicaps, do I need to clear my cache?
Just heard the great news!
Congratulations Amy and James on the top result. Hope all of our riders survived the day, and look forward to some in depth race reports.
Well done at the Dinnerville!
