MongooseMan Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Could be slightly more muddy than last year, depending on how well it dries after Tuesday and Wednesday...

Kom Posted May 19 Posted May 19 The 50 miler is plenty of fun if you're looking to just actually have fun - I personally dont have any business in the 100 mile field at the moment ....

Rest of the route looks to be in a fairly good condition, will be a fast race as usual. Edit - just to add, got a reminder last week that the route was tougher than I recalled it to be, those rollers in the second half really do add up! Edited May 19 by Skubarra Kom and MongooseMan 2

That bit was scraped a week ago but the road surface is propeerly screwed. Also very sandy im certain parts Kom and Skubarra 2
