yes, i am. it surely looks like hills in abundance, but queenstown worlds' hills were fairly attention-
getting (and repetetive), so one wonders just how much worse this can be. for that matter, lausanne
'98 remains as my "peak" experience, with 4x an 18% grade. peggy

Aw, c'mon, Peggy, that Lausanne bump was only 17.5% grade, but we did it four times, so that was
special. But you should mention it was cobblestones. Going down was a blast. I went down like I
drive a car on ice - very loose. It was actually fun.

The GB will likely send full teams, only the womens 55-59, 60-64 have any space and the mens 60-64
has 1 place, 65-69 has a few and 70-74 is pretty open but Peter Howard is racing in that age group
so everyone knows who will win ;-) 6-people from my club, Tri-Force, made the team.
I don't know if that makes it the biggest GB team ever, but it must be given they only switched to
18 per age group last year...
Maderia will is really popular for the Brits becuase you can fly direct from loads of regional
airports, while NZ was the other side of the world for us.
If you want to check out the competition the full GB team is here:

As far as we know the original idea of a 4-loop course including laps over the cobbles has gone. Its
a straight out and back now with the 4-climbs shown on the profile and no cobbles. ++Mark.

The Hotel Savoy is the official GB Team HQ. As always, if you book early = you can often get a much

The details are here: http://www.nirvanaeurope.com/Madeira%202004.pdf
