Quite fancy doing this as it’s relatively near (90ish miles) this year.

But is it a serious race or something else?

Ta.

It's a race if you want it to be. Or it's a group ride with number plates.

I've been to three and they were all brilliant. Just Do It.

So what sort of percentage are there to 'race' compared to those there for something else?

Who knows?

There's generally a beer stop, which I don't think they do in the World Cup circuit.

Even the fast guys are lovely, so don't worry about getting in anyone's way or anything.

Ok then,it seems we are actually going to "RACE" at this one then and take it seriously ? I do hope I get 4th place again this year (with the other 296 riders). Fancy dress options ? any thoughts ?

You might well have done, it's been up on youtube since june 2009, or it might even be your video? *hence the smilie*

The riders are just gently pootling along in no rush at all, going by that video, so I think that answers the OP's question?

My lad filmed it. That's me with the glasses at the start and getting handed my ass by Donk at the Rollapalooza. Happy days!
