Ok, i know some people on here think theyr over priced and TBH i agree, but the cheeper ones are good for a days riding without the need for a camelback full of food/water/spares.
However, i just got an e-mail proclaiing that the “organisers” have been out recying the route. Apparently its nice and quitet coutry lanes with scenic views. Like fek you have, it goes past my house, the road is neither particularly quiet, nor is it even in existance, its been dug up and closed for the past 2 months and will remain so untill well after the event!
