  • I’m about to book the Friday and Monday off to make this a long weekend, as it happens to be my birthday too, so why not?

    A couple of questions. Dan, you mentioned staying over. Do you mean the Saturday night?
    Also, any more thoughts on fixed or gears? My preference would be gears to be honest. I’ve not done a 200k fixed before and there’s a lot of descending to do here, so feeling slightly anxious. Not a deal breaker though.

  • Yeah I think staying over the Saturday night, I don't think there's any way I'd be able to get around either route and make the last train home. @TTM (and others) where are you staying? Atm I think the premier inn or whatever had space, and was right next to the McDonalds :)

    So I kind of drew up the 200km as an olive branch to the audaxers, but the bloody thing is already pretty long and hilly. Votes for either one?

    As for fixed / geared I like the idea of doing it fixed. I did 10k ft fixed a few weeks ago but that was over a significantly longer distance. I certainly won't hold anyone else to riding fixed, but everyone else is geared is it gonna cause problems if I'm the only one? Don't want to hold up the group. I do actually have a geared bike I love as well does need a little TLC atm though
