    I did it last year on a 34-26. It was pretty tough, very up and down and some surprisingly tricky climbs. I wouldn't have fancied it on a 39-25, and I was riding it straight after last year's etape. I'm sure it would be doable, just tough.

    My bro wiill riding it this year, keep an eye out for him he'll be on a black Planet X!

    hi, i rode it also last year, cracking ride also did it on a 34 x 26, was suprisingly tough and i ride the area regularly found out some new climbs! was well organised, good start facilities at local school with ample parking, well signposted, well stocked feed stations and hot food at the end! gutted going to miss it this year as on honeymoon but will be there next year. hope you ride and enjoy it.
