I might be up for this. Which course you are doing?

Mooh · **Posts:** 348 **Location:** Cheshunt

I've been given the green light for 27th :thumbup:

I shall register tomorrow. There is no much interest on the forum for this event maybe because its not competitive?

Mooh · **Posts:** 348 **Location:** Cheshunt

You're right there's not a lot of interest on the forum because its a challenge rather than comp, but I'm working up to either do competitions or events like the Lemming Trail and maybe coast to coast in 2014 so these are perfect as part of the buildup and the missus getting used to me doing lots of training and seeing me do something with all that effort.

My two youngest kids will be 5 next year so she has less excuses for me having to be home except for 2 hours first thing Sunday and Wednesday evening.

I would be up for this missies bday 25th April so ill have a social pint over the weekend. My kids are 4,3 and two weeks and I'm a house husband/ student so really hard to slot riding in

Pretty much everyone have to juggle family and work its understandable. My wife works nights so normally i look after our 3 year boy in the mornings.
This will be my first event so not being competitive is i guess a good thing.
Hopefully the weather will hold up!

Was interested just cost of train and how easy of getting to start line. And no ride for three weeks :oops:

Signed up for it now

I've done a benchmark 10.5 mile run today in sort of competitive pace and it took me 1:01h to complete which means I should be able to do a decent time on the day.

How bad and long are the climbs on the actual course?

Mooh · **Posts:** 348 **Location:** Cheshunt

Looking at the GPS map they provide, it looks like the worst climbs are near the beginning and are about 3 and 4 miles respectively.

Wish I had time to do this. Looks similar to www.exmoorexplorer.com I've done every year but with slightly better organisation.

4 mile long climbs I better get training
