I'm thinking of doing the 52. My mate's doing it. If I do it on my T7a ill be easy to spot as ill be wearing my Liverpool Mercury gear. Must admit it doesn't really appeal to me, the idea of doing laps on a flat course. The chain gang to that on a Tuesday night but I'm never home early enough to join them According to their last post on Facebook there's only 10 places left for the 52 and they expect them to be gone by the end of the day. Gone already. Oh well, guess that's that, then.

Thanks for that and I am very surprised! Not as easy as it sounds now that I have seen the profile.

I had my number Saturday morning (15th) and it said the 52 miles was closed. It seems to be very popular. Anyhow I have signed on for the 26 miles. Anyone here got their jersey yet? I ordered one, at the time it was $15 and I noticed its now Β£30. Was thinking that I would have got it with the race number.

No. It's not worth the hassle driving over just for 25 miles. I'll just go out with the club instead.

My mate has signed up for the 52 mile one but only intends on doing 26 miles then dropping, just so she can start closer to the front. cheeky!
