Can I do it in a week prep?
Some mates pushy to me to signed up cause they all already are, or will I be in a pain of a lifetime? Never been there and no familiar on their terrain.

Wolfie. If you ride 20k plus a week you will be fine but a little tired at the end. Most the route is paths rather than technical so ground can be covered fairly fast. The short route is only 51k this year so about 30 miles with a few big hills!
Need to sign up before 9 pm tonight I think or it's pay on the day. If you can ride follow the dog 4 times in a row you'll be fine...ish.

Not a race as they can't afford the insurance. But someone has to come first but it won't be me!
Wolfie. Email them re spaces as you don't want to drive down and can't do it. My tip. Don't rush off and keep to your pace not someone else's and eat and drink regular. Apart from that enjoy the view from the top.

Definitely doing the camping and pasta as I will be there not sure about party though. I won't be drinking alcohol the night before but 2 of my mates will. They've never done this before so looking forward to laughing at them on the first climb.
