Dunno, to me it sounds like fun ... I am targeting the Peaks Challenge Falls creek next March again, plus some other smaller sportives and whatnot, so have to keep a good level of training up till then ... and right now, I am a bit bored tbh. I need those 4 hour rides, but winter is just starting and I don;t have much of a crew to ride with, so a 4 hrs race sounds like just the ticket to work on my threshold power ...
Also, it looked a lot less sketchy than a crit or a road race with a nervous bunch.

Yeah they are fucking horrible would not really recommend.
Unless you are going to win? I found the quality of the field was super high what with high barrier to entry: both £ and level of Nutter required to get up early on a cold wet Sunday and race around the woods in lycra for four hours.
