This years rider list is up. So it turns out when you stick an entry into the draw there's a risk of actually getting a place.

I might have to temporarily turn into a roadie and do some proper training ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Anyone else going to be there to share the suffering?

you will have to do some training. In fact, do a lot of training.
Big day out, that.

Don't **have** to do it on a roadie bike. A couple of mates of mine did it on MTBs and slicks.

We ran [url= http://www.phased.co.uk/index.php/fred-whitton-alternative.html ]this[/url] experiment a few years back.

At the very least I'll be bodging a 32-tooth cassette onto my road bike.

I spend eight years living in the Lakes so I don't even have the benefit of ignorance about what I've let myself in for.

On the upside I'm in with a mate who's faster than me, so I'll have his slipstream, at least until Honister anyway!
