Thanks Mike
Tracklogs has the distance at 74.7k but add in hills and it should come out around 78k. For those that are vaguely familiar with the route we aren't going anywhere near Newchurch and Disgwylfa ["Squilva" in local accent] Hills this year, instead we are taking riders over a bunch of stuff never previously used, thanks to your excellent attitude.
Oh and anyone who got put off last year by the faulty Pay Pal system, well we've dumped them for a system that works.

i did this event before leaving the uk and loved it and am glad to give something back.happy to see anyone come over here to train for it and take advantage of the current bm member discount.shameless i know but what the heck!!you'll give me stick whatever i do so lets have it.

Having cunningly got a family holiday booked the week leading up to the Rough Ride, I'll be the one showing up in the middle of the night on Saturday and making my probably fairly bleary way to the line on Sunday. I expect to take full advantage of the half-hour starting window :-)

can i sponsor the colour of your eyes as they'll probably match my website!!ha ha

So you won't be at any preride saturday pub run then Mike?

Shame it clashes with the Bucks Off -road classic which a real epic and is nearer to home so going to have to give it a miss.

Yeh we found that out last Christmas, though we've always been on this date. Different sort of riding but if you've only got one weekend...

The Bucks classic has been on an anniversary date for the last 3 years , and was moved from its original May date due to the Gorrick deciding to promote on the same day
