    I have been thinking about entering this but a SI joint issue, three months off the bike followed by a chest infection and pleurisy further two months so far!. I am not sure I will be ready or fit enough but it looks fun.

    Andysredmini, I did it last year on a normal road bike with 25mm slicks. Got a bit beaten up on the off road bits but nothing to worry about. Maybe double wrap your bars if you feel the need but you’ll be fine.

    I entered this a while back when looking for something UK based, a bit different and a reasonable entry fee (comparwd to most UK sportives). I did Paris-Roubaix in April last year, when it was driving wind and rain at the start time and the Arenberg was like a trail of icy Hobbs bread loaves. That was on a ti road bike with 28mm semi-slicks. No point using mud guards, cos they’d clatter around too much. I’ll be using the same set up for this ToTBC.
