So, we tested the route. Well, Sarah did. I got a hole in my tyre half way up the climb to the Whitehouse and discovered what utter bollocks ‘if you get a proper hole in a tubeless tyre, just whip it off and put a tube in’ is.
She took about 2hrs 30 mins (she did her best to mimic stw ‘pace’ group inertia). If we have to race back for last orders we can trim that by high tailing it down the road.
For those that care, running 10km with your mountain bike hurts in all sorts of unbelievable ways.
