Definitely doing this!

Haven't done big miles before, but have been assured it should be ok!!! Like fcuk it will but I think I'll take the bait
I think the 135KM would be plenty for me. I don't think I could carry enough grub to keep me going the 10 hours I would need to do the full course.



Entries open at 12 noon today

signed up there. looks like a class event! The goodie bag is worth the 40 quid entrance fee alone.

Plan to do the medium one - looks like it might sell out before the weekend is over.

Would loved to have done it but we have a 135 mile cycle on for the club that weekend
God bless the hills of Dooish, be they heather-clad or lea,

Go on Milltown, I'll reach you a pint outside The Mariners Bar  ;)

Could be worse, you could be going anti-clockwise and up Torr Road.

That is me signed in for the medium one.

You doing it? There's 820 signed up and all so far! Great numbers. It will be touch and go for me I think! If I am struggling then I will just turn off and do the middle one. I read that you can do that. Going to try train hard for the big one and give it a lash.
