Am thinking of entering the [url= http://www.endurancelife.com/event.asp?series=15&location=42 ]Extreme[/url] with a mate.

Some questions

1) Is it fun?
2) Is the Offroad "big", will my Kona Kula Supreme HT be appropriate?
3) As 1/3 of cycling is on road what tires?
4) Am I mental do it?

not done it, but doing it ๐Ÿ™‚

entered pairs, in the classic version rather than extreme.

seeing as you only use one bike, the off road can't be that extreme - a swap of tyres is all you can do really. i'm just going to go for some 1" slicks. there's a lot more than 1/3 of the biking on road though - 78miles of road and only 23 off road.

Oops your right, I misread (completely).
Damn that's a lot of road!

CP have you done much training?

I feel fit enough, but not sure if the will too much for a first attempt and the camping on the CLASSIC sounds likes it very much part of the 'experience'...

yeah, i'm going for the experience! fairly fit now, have started doing fell racing and triathlons to get my multisport fix! though I've never run further than 7 miles in one sitting (that'll all change tmw though - edale skyline - 20 ish miles!!). mate of a colleague at work is doing the extreme version! Maybe next year ๐Ÿ™‚
