Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
Not this year, am thinking about it next year. You'll have to report back on how it was. :)
Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
Just up the road from me but I'll have to give it a miss this year due to prior engagement.
There is always next year!

I've entered the 200, gives me a reason to keep riding after TD!

You'll be fine Andy! I'll be riding singlespeed I suspect, which will probably kill me.

Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
He won't have time to be grumpy - he'll be gurning his way up all the lovely climbs on his singlespeed
Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
With the knees mostly playing ball again, I'm in for the 100. Be nice to have a bash at something different. Might even catch some gurning by the sounds :)

Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
Glad the knees are easing up Scott!
I'll head up Friday night to camp, be good to meet you and chat TD!
Does anyone know when we're going to get more details of this event? Route, gpx etc?

Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
I'm not doing it
But the 100 route looks like it would be good fun. Would be interested in seeing the gpx or strava link of anyone that has done it

Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
I'm sure I entered this but can't recall getting any further info. Can we expect a route soon?
Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
GPX is being finalised at the moment. It'll be emailed out on the Wednesday before the event.

Re: Anyone doing the Twyi Ton?
I'm out, I will be instead moving house. Much more gruelling I think.
