We do the VCR one in June every two years. I think this year will be my 3rd or 4th.
This and Ronde Van Calderdale are my two favourite cycling holidays. Just have to drink less before PR.....
Great Day out and as @Big_Ted says, for me it’s about using a vaguely unsuitable bike instead of using wider tyres, imo. That said you see a complete range of bikes on the pave, from FG to dual sus MTB.
I normally use my Rourke and 25’s with no issues. This year I’m going to take the Talbot Space biek and run 28’s tubeless, Just for some variation and to see if it’s quicker.
Just hit the cobbles as hard as you can and hang on. It really is great fun and a great piss up, before and after
