Hah - nah its a great course! Just a proper challenge, you can't zone out, you need to concentrate fully.
TT bike is fine - I rode mine with 22mm tubs (although my TT extensions did slip...)
It's really just that one corner onto the lane where its a bit rutted and you need to carefully pick your line, the rest is actually pretty reasonable for British B roads, especially the first 4-5M where they have largely resurface it (It was pretty terrible in places last year)

yep he is riding, and he's off conveniently 18 minutes after me, so maybe that should be my stretch target!
rutted lanes do not sound fun, you make it sound terrible but if people are averaging over 25mph on it, it cant be "that" bad!
or should I bring my road bike?!
