I'm thinking of signing up for the EastLink ride in November - has anyone else out there signed up??? A couple of mates have told me that it will be very different to the last EastLink ride - limited places, EastLink closed in both directions, controlled start line.

I'm just not sure whether to enter the recreational ride or the individual challenge??!!!!

Ended up in the recreational ride and had a fantastic time. The start was well ordered and the organisation seemed very smooth. That second tunnel sure was a test! :thumb:
