B20 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 This race is about 4 weeks away now. Had a reasonable Attakwas so decided to do this one on my single speed as well. Day 2 may be the hardest of the 3 I think. Really looks like a great race. Be my first stage race solo. Done all the bigger ones a few times but always in a team.anyone got any useful tips for this race? Respect to you....
