I think a lot of people rode the first event thinking it was a gravel race, no? So you probably weren't the only one. I've got the Stanton 29er with bags on it all ready from James' event so if I can just find a way to box it and get there (and back) it seems like a nice idea/challenge.
I need to have a closer look at the route though and work out what sleep kit, etc. might be needed.

Raced the first edition. As an event there was couple of small things I would change but overall it was very good.
I'd just practice riding uphill slowly on surfaces that are quite rough but not rough enough that you can't ride. I was also on a Fairlight Secan which is a great bike just the wrong one for the event.
