Depends what day I get back from France...but probably in

Brilliant write up! Really gave the sense of your suffering... and this is inspiring somehow!

It does look like it gets most of the Peak District highlights in. It's great you can start it anywhere. I live in New Mills so the little cafe in Birch Vale will be my start and end point.

I'm planning on an attempt in late July when the school holidays start. Much planning still to be done but hoping nights will still be long enough and I'm hoping to get it done in around 28 hours working on 10kph average and a few hours sleep.

I'm doing the 100 and was planning on taking around 15 hours so I think I'll be ambitious and take extra batteries over bivvy stuff. I've never actually ridden 100 miles off road though so this could all go horribly wrong!

As I joined the forum because of the Wildcat 100 I'll weigh in on this. I know it's a 'gravel' race but it is Welsh forest tracks so it's not going to be mega smooth right? I'm going with 26" mtb with big but fast tyres, Ralphs probably. Really looking forward to this! Only done a tiny bit of b...
