Cheers goffski , it was just that my lad said his girlfriend was fined for not finishing on time . I thought it was worth checking out as there was a box to tick to say you could do the 26 miles in 2 hrs .

Will have to read it again.

I have to drive, got no choice there, with the family and Whitney not about to give my mobility for the train service and then they tell me no bikes allowed. So I will be getting there early, 8am most likely.

Yeah, i think the picture makes it look worse than it actually is, 100ft over 1 lap it's pretty flat really so i wouldn't worry too much about it. Last weekend i climbed almost 3000ft over 101 miles so i'm hoping this should a breeze.

Ive just got an email off them saying if it does not arrive to collect from the info booth
I replied to them saying it wasn't good enough, of the 20 or so people going I dont know of anyone that has received it yet, so potentially thousands of people in a line to get a jersey

Just had a look at the link posted by whitestar . If I'm reading this right , the 26 miler starts at 11-45 & you have to start your second lap before 13-30 or you are finished, but still get a time & finishing pack . Must admit was a bit bothered by the 2 hr limit thinking it would be touch & go for me as I can only guess at my average speed ect .

Don't worry about it sheffs, you'd be riding at less than 8mph to miss the cut off time. It's closed flat roads to the only thing to slow you down is the amount of people taking part. Don't worry about it and enjoy the day.

You are not the only one sheffs! I have actually done 26 miles just within 2 hours and I am still worrying!!!! goffski must be a pro to be so cool! Currently trying to find the time to go over the route on google: Pinch point? Where everyone comes together because of road furniture (I think thats whats its called) Old Aston Road turn left to Mancunian Way - wide railway bridge arches a good hundred meters or so. Look out for it. It seems flat all the way from start point 1.5 miles away.
