Anyone from on here riding it?

Shoulder op has put paid to it for me unfortunately.

If you're intending to compete with the elite them a light 29/650b hardtail is ample. (Bear in mind there's 14/15 miles of flattish country lanes at the start,so make sure you've got plenty of gearing for this,as it's a great opportunity to get ahead of the masses)

I've always just ridden it with whatever tyres are on my bike at the time,but I'm just an old mincer.

Just watch the weather in the week up to the race, ATM trails are quite dry so,if that continues, grip will not be an issue.

If you need any more assistance just ask.

Good luck,it's a great event,with an ace finish.
