Hi all. Has anyone ever been on this event? I am thinking of entering and would like some rider experience on the route.

I have signed up for it! Β£20 entrance fee. It should be fun. Signed up for the 26 mile run. Anyone else here going?

You fellas are too good!!! I hope we get to meet. I didn't realise that Manchester was 80 miles from where I live! Strange I always think that Manchester is as close as Birmingham. Start time is different for the rides but it would be nice to meet. Are any of you BC members?

I'm doing the 52 miles signed up last month.. Sounds like there will be a few T3/5's doing it. There was over 7000 entrants last year so the 13 mile loop could be pretty busy.

For all those that don't know that's a T7 ok! I am so looking forward to this, my first event. I haven't rode 50 miles yet so the 26 mile event will be ok for me. Anyone else doing 26 miles? Can't believe it my wife will be coming with me! Wow well she will find out where all my hard earned money is going now - that other woman - Whitney of course!!!!

I'll look out for you and Whitney once i'm done with the 52. I'm aiming for sub 2:50 but this really depends on traffic, over 7000 on a 14 mile loop is a lot!

I am use to riding on my own so I am worried about riding in a peloton. 2:50 hrs, I did my first 43 miles in 2:40 hrs, so I have a lot more training to do to ride with you!
