Ok,

 

Tyre choice for this race? I need to replace my rear tyre thanks to a sidewall tear, so I might aswell get the right/ more appropriate tyre sorted.

Exactly why i am not doing this event again

 

As opposed to getting a bit fitter and mixing it up with the better riders who can ride obstacles?

 

Just stirring here :whistling:

I wouldn't argue with you on that, I'm definitely generalising here..

 

but I do find that the closer you get to the front of the field, the less likely it is that the guy in front of you will get off his bike because he can't ride over a small rock in the road.

 

It's usually the guys at the back-end that complain of the "ungifted" riders around them

Loved it. Doiing it again. Start like a bat out of hell on the first hill (5k I think) and you will be surrounded with riders of better than your own abilities. Great jacket last year - I still wear it.

This is not confined to W2W. Any race will have congestion on technical parts if the seeding is messed up.

 

Enjoy the adventure.

Racing Ralph evo snakeskins!

Yup, I did 2 W2Ws on those and they're good all rounders, roll well, grip reasonably well and cope with the rocky bits.

I have just entered and paid. Doing the "Ride" with my wife. 1st timers, so we looking forward to it. Now my wife just needs to get over her knee injury that has kept her sidelines for 2 months so that we can start training!
