I might be tempted Davy.  Probably mean I'd have to wimp out on the 100k for Sunday though (phew- been looking for a suitable excuse for weeks).  What do you mean a suitable excuse??? It'll probably rain, that's all you need ;D |

I'll be joining you on this, most probably do the 50k although the 75k is tempting. Will sign up over the next week or two.

Not doing the 80 miler as I'll be knacked for the Sunday  , although it does look like a nice ride Not doing the 45 miler either I'm afraid  . It's my daughter's birthday party that day and I can't not be there. Soft play area and all ;D Am still riding on the Sunday though  |

Anyone know the route for the 50k? I've got a choice between this and 3 days in Glentress starting on the Monday, probably a no brainer to be fair, but I like to ride around the clwyds...

I'd go for the 3 days in Glentress! It really is a great atmosphere good fun, but it's only a few hours on one day. I think they're still running them next year.... |

Hey guys ,
I' ve entered the 50K with one of my mates (Jamie 3 posts up).
What type of surface should I expect. How it made up....... singletrack, fireroad, hard, soft etc etc.
If it rains (when it rains) will mud tyres be required.
Are you guys going to be doing this as a group?

Hi Neil, a few responses to your questions.. What type of surface should I expect. How it made up....... singletrack, fireroad, hard, soft etc etc. It's made up of a mix of tarmac, bridlepath, grass, singletrack, fireroad. It basically takes in a few of the Ride The Clwyds routes www.ridetheclwyds.com/rideclwyds/index.asp Last year the route was road from Ruthin up to Moel Famau carpark (bitch of a climb!) and then off road for a good bit. Not sure what it's going to be this year thoughIf it rains (when it rains) will mud tyres be required. It's pretty soft and wet in places - it's entirely up to youAre you guys going to be doing this as a group? That's always the intention at the start ;D You won't get left behind though |
