No organiser would do that, right?

You've not met @skinny then?

Fair enough. I live in London and grew up in a flat desert (some might say dessert #hippyisfat) so I'm quite familiar with the challenge of climbing anything, really.

We did MdS last year which was 1000k and a bit more climbing but I think maybe had longer climbs rather than more shorter steeper ones. I run MTB gearing these days for this reason.

I'm sure it's hilly but it's not going to be harder than Pendle, TCR parcours, Alps, Pyrenees, etc.

I've ridden in the black forest and it was certainly hilly but I wouldn't say it was the hardest thing I've ever done.

It doesn't seem to have a time cut, so that makes it easier than Pendle in that regard. It can't compare to TCR. It's more like MdS or Transpyrenees but with smaller climbs. I've ridden a bit in Germany (TCR and touring), I mainly want to ride in the Vosges.
