Then no need to worry. Race king will do just fine, a bit worn or brand new....

 

 

Ah thanks! That's reassuring, knowing that you've done it before!

 

One more question....how much liquids did you ride with? Two waterbottles enough?

no, not that bad. Just tough on your butt and back after 80km odd in the saddle. This race is flat, no downhills so there is very few places to stand freewheel and stretch out on either days 100km stages.

Yes 2 units between water tables is plenty. The water tables are well stocked with food, chocolate, USN, water, whisky etc.

Not that fit. Think day 1 was 5h something and day 2 was just on 4h. Day 1 is tougher that day 2.
