if you are taking it easy and have a long break at the cake stop 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

A Triathlete, riding off road? With corners and slippery surfaces?

YOU WILL DIE 😈

I wouldn't want to be doing any kind of racing the following day!

Even if you take it steady, you'll still know you've done it.

sofatester - not a triathlete doing an mtb event. An mtb'er doing a triathlon............

and as it happens my biggest crash was at 25mph on a lethal corner .................. in a triathlon

but I do agree - if it's got a roundabout, triathlete's think it is technical

Am also intrigued by this, but partly because I'm staying with my folks near Cardigan (a good 90 mins each way from Machynlleth) and I don't really want the whole day to be taken up.

Winning time was something like 2:45 I think. Average looked to be closer to 4 hours. I'll be happy to finish in 5:30 to be honest.

Hmm. A time of, say, 5 hours means an 8+ hour day. I don't have an issue with that - just hope Mrs North can cope with my parents for that length of time..!

Better do some training this week....

I'm having to work Saturday night/Sunday morning and then drive straight there, race and then drive back. That'll be fun.
