So towards the back, but not last based on the 2015 results.
Maybe the organizers should invite them along next year to pace the back markers, they'd get to go home an hour earlier!
Just driven over Wrynose - given the really crap road surfaces fatties might just be the tire of choice 😉
I suspect the organisers don't want the ride to become some sort of novelty event. Next thing you have riders dressed in drag, on unicycles, chasing a pantomime cow on a tandem, like some two-wheeled London marathon dystopia (or one-wheel even...).
They want the challenge to be completing the route itself, rather than looking like a plonker.

We are talking about grown adults dressed in lycra. You can't look more like a plonker if you tried.
that may be so, but lycra is functional, whereas fatbikes aren't (for the Fred).

CX bike for me, the weather is looking crap. And yes, the 35mm tyres are perfect for the roads!
Only joking about tyres - I was just shocked at how bad the roads were. If you are flying down Wrynose you need to be careful to miss some big holes.

Evidence ^ would suggest otherwise

It's a bike ride that goes in a circle, functional?
Hmm. Wanting to start early is clearly a question to which the answer is no, however
made me lol.novelty entrants who take places that a more serious athlete could use (and be more likely to finish the course)
Just going through some of the privateer photos on Flickr to see if I could find any of our group and found this
