I am looking forward to the race tomorrow, come rain or shine (hopefully shine)

My question is how many mile do people recon they will be doing in the full 8hr?

Maybe going of HTN1 milages.

6 mile lap compared to 8 (I think) on the original course
Much drier conditions over all, faster track, more all weather too.

I reckon 50 minutes to 1 hour per lap

I'd have said 80 miles in 8 hours was about right (as a tolerably fit, non-racing sort of chap), but I've not ridden the course. ๐Ÿ™‚

You're lap times will get longer bearing in mind the in-between-laps beers you'll be consuming ๐Ÿ˜€

Nah. I'm going into full-on "shock and awe" mode for 8 hours to work up a head of steam for a really good beer frenzy afterwards. ๐Ÿ™‚
