I can't wait. Could well be best race of the year.

I've not really looked too much at it but is it 'proper' MTBing? Or is it a lot of double track? ie. the shit quality roads I'd end up riding on TCR anyway. What would the right bike be - rigid mtb, hardtail, dualie, CX bike or road?
Are you definitely going to race TCR next year?

I'd like to do that it lots of ways. Would be really interesting to go out there, and fun to be a pioneer in the first event before it gets too mainstream. The cool guys are doing it this year instead of TCR for those reasons, but it just looks a bit too hard core / MTB for me, so pretty much certain I won't try to get a place. I also prefer here-to-there routes, like TCR, TABR, IndyPac, etc.
But I expect I'll hugely regret not entering it when it comes round, especially if I don't get a place on TCR. My heart wants to do it but my head says you haven't got the right bike, that massive climb on the first day would be too much, you'll get eaten by wolves, etc, etc.
