Missing it this year after really enjoying last years due to family stuff and moving house. Hope to be back in next year though. Enjoy!

I'll be there: 50km.

Have my trusty old ioID Alfine ready to go. Don't think I'll be breaking records! 8)

Yep! 50k on my >X<. Only the second off-road ride I'll have done on it.

Should be faster than last year if I don't puncture (I had my only proper tubeless failure at the bottom of the first hill last year and had to fix 3 punctures when I put in a tube without checking the tyre - I had run out of latex, hence the puncture!)

All types of bikes welcome, ride what you got! I believe there even be some of those things called fat bikes been ridden!

Few members did a pre ride last week and it was ridding fine.

Standard road gearing, coz that's what's on it at the moment: compact double + 11-25 cassette. I might be walking up [s]some[/s] all the hills!

I'll be there on my Mtb. Love the plain and really enjoyed last year. Whilst I hope to be quicker, I'll be happy enough if I can reign myself in enough to go hard up the Iast hill rather than dying up it ๐Ÿ˜‰

Well, I was fitter, lighter and ultimately 12 minutes faster this year but still slipped backwards by 30 places ๐Ÿ˜€
