if any of you non cyclist wanna join in its a nice healthy 60 odd mile,
oh sorry bet you couldn't do 60 meters sorry.
I'm thinking of doing this have you done it before?
do you need a road bike or can you do it on a MTB
Is it a fairly flat track?
I did it last year was a good run, i did it on a mtb with some road tyres on. Was ok, my mate did it on mtb with knobbly tyres on and struggled. Going to be doing it again this year its 12th July i think. Was a few hills in the route but some good flat runs mostly.
How long did it take, did you train much or just go for it?
Took about 4 and half hours i think or just over, did try and get out on my bike before but only went out about 4 times lol. Wasnt that bad really. Did it with my uncles so took it nice and easy we tried to avearge about 14mph. Was a sunny day to :-). Loads of people do it so its a good day you feel knackerd when you have completed it but its good feeling. Just took plenty of water with us and i took some energy bars. Also if you do go take a puncture repair kit or a spare inner tube.
