That's the original I think. There have been other variations since.

Anyone got a link so I can get more info on RTTS and past events.
It's really not an 'event' fella, 'tis just a ride, same as the Winter Bivvy or most things I suppose.

I was on the first RTTS. It's an event in Wales. There was no sun, LOADS of liquid sun though

Missed the next one, even sadder the weather was mint for that one

Yes yes yes yes yes :-bd

Thanks Stu... :grin: After Colin posted that link it got me thinking (that I probably hate night riding enough and) about the opposite version of this. I'm gonna [url = https://www.chasethesun.org/ ]chase[/url] it instead.

Hoping to attempt the Way of the Roses on the longest day (if anyone wantw to join me). When the sun goes down I'll just think about finishing the route there and sleeping... Then either complete it in daylight or ride home in the morning (bout 50 miles average distance). All road obviously so probably a bit boring for most on here :smile: (and according to the Alpkit definition it being road, it's not even bikepacking is it :lol: )

Aye guilty as charged, I’d just finished a week of 13 hour days. Got up a 4am, days work then driven from south London to Bala at 62mph.
Promise I’ll get some sleep beforehand next time :oops:
