  • Looks like a great field with skinny, Jay p plus lael wilcox and Sarah Hammond amongst the starters.
    Others I know include
    Chris Phillips, who I was chatting to the other week and week had to dnf last time. He said he was going back with a different bike, a full on mountain bike, and with mountaineering gear, better tent, etc.
    Andi buchs, who did indypac and who organises nord kapp tarifa
    Stu Edwards, a brit living in Tasmania did indypac and who has done lots of mountain biking
    Karl speed, who has done tcr a couple of times (mandatory route should suit him as he got dqd last time for not riding solo as he apparently hadnt done a route so was just following others!)
    Stephane, who usually goes off road a bit during the tcr!

  • and just as I started getting even worse at it...

  • It's true, the cool kids do the new events, ideally in the first year they run.
    The Tour Divide still has massive ultra-cred but SRMR is quickly rivalling it. The new European road events didn't create such a big splash.
