THere were 8 of us who did Wales from my club, 4 on tt bikes, 4 on road bikes, and it was pretty much alternate places for the road vs tt bikes, which shows nothing other than its perfetly possible to ride on aroad bike, but there are very few places on the course where you cant ride in the aerobars.
there were 3 in the group who have school age kids, and they missed school for the day on friday and Monday - i really wouldn't advise trying to arrive the day before, it would be too stressful when you basically will not sleep the night before, so you need a really quiet day before hand...
If you're tempted by Challenge weymouth then go for that, but id wait until after this years race to find out if they are able to run the swim properly as the course was deemed too dangerous to run the whole swim last year so they halved it (Wales was on the same day and went ahead) and have actually measured out the full distance run - i'm pretty sure it was about 35k but a clubmate who did it decided not to loads his data on to strava... personally id be really disappointed to know the Iron distance race id done was so short...
