Im entered, but have less chance of finishing than seeing no midges!
Up til 3 weeks ago training was going well, went out on 3rd Aug and did 81 miles in 7hr 40min (including a lunch stop) not very hilly 1500m and a bit of road included.
Then went out on 6th Aug for what ended up being a very steady 70 miles all day ride, felt good though.
Had an easy week then went out for our usual Saturday mbr and struggled even to pedal, ended up cutting it short (30 miles) with a major dog on, had the grumps ever since, barely touched a bike, eaten poorly ever since (put on half a stone) and now not even sure if i should bother going.
Also unsure about camelback/bottles, tubeless or not (only recently changed and my mate has ripped a tyre on his last two rides!)
