I'm going to ride the 260k. Training hasn't really been specific to this kind of thing at all but if 12yo girls can ride DD then I should be able to do this.
Still debating tyre choice - was going to run Vittoria Pave clinchers but others have been suggesting the use of wider tyres. Single taped, gel-free bars and will probably run a worn Mavic Cosmos front because I don't want to risk better wheels. Rear is a bit deeper DT R520.
Might buy myself some new mitts as the ones I have now are trashed and all the gel has moved elsewhere.
Clive, you've done this before. Climbing tape you said? Anything else you'd suggest?
