I'm doing the Marshbrook CRC Marathon on Sunday. I've signed up to do the 50k with a mate who's new to riding and who's never done anything like this before.
Thing is, i'm divided, should i take the lightweight bike and step up to the 70k and leave him to do the 50k on his own or should i stay on the 50k and take it easy, giving him support?
Suppose thats a daft question really!

You know the answer!
do 70k - you may finish around same time.
IMHO it will drive you mad riding 50k in support at 70% pace.
If i take the big bike it'll slow me down, plus it looks like its gonna be a nice day and i've never ridden around the Long Mynd before.
Think i'll take it easy, enjoy the view and help a newbie enjoy his first marathon 🙂 I can always go full pelt at the next one 😉
Then again, i've just had the light bike fixed....
Do the 50 in a sumo suit?
Way i've been eating recently i don't really need the suit! 😳
Single Speed it.
Sod off, i want to finish with the same number of working knees that i started with! 😛
Pah, seriously over-rated are fully working knees 😆
