Not this year, am thinking about it next year. You'll have to report back on how it was. :)

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!

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

He won't have time to be grumpy - he'll be gurning his way up all the lovely climbs on his singlespeed :grin:

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 :)

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?

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
