Somehow I’ve been talked into it again for the fifth time and I am hoping that the unique Mendips weather system works in our favour this year.
2007 was miserable, although my Small Block 8 rear tyre had a ludicrous amount of traction through nearly all of the sections apart from the final traverse across Black Down. If it’s pouring down again you’ll find all of Team Gravy propping up the bar I reckon;-)
As for whether I’m doing it for the riding or for charity – neither really, it’s just a chilled out weekend with my mates more than anything. CLIC still has a really unique atmosphere and has none of the guff that comes along with the formal 24 hour races….although I dare say some plonker will try and pass where there’s no space, hollering “On your right” at some point 😉
