If, as mentioned above the mudgard rule is not likely to be enforced, my road bike would be the best canditate for this...

It is likely to be enforced.

Mudguards are required because the event is in the middle of winter, and goes up some tiny lanes, which will make the riders filthy in the wrong conditions. As they are using what the Audaxers call a 'commercial control' at Chute, i.e. a pub, they don't want to antagonise the proprietors by having a load of muddy cyclists coat the interior of the establishment.

The first year I did it, I used clip on mud-guards, which were fine.
