Has anyone done this? It looks pretty epic, I'd be interested to hear a few people experiences. Tyre choices could be useful too, is it worth cracking out 25mm tyres for? Or have people had any luck going with lower pressures and managing to avoid pinch punctures?

    My mate rode it last year.........was in the leading break of 3 when he punctured with 8 miles to go! :twisted: He was using "cobble spankers" as well (Vittoria EVO Pave 24mm).

    It's pretty full-on from what he's told me, but he also races MTB XC and cross so is handy in the mud.

    It's on his agenda for this year as well.........may well be using EVO Pave tubs this year though.

    i was thinking of doing this race, i often think that as long as you dont use light weight tyres, if you are going to flat with a 22 mm tyre you will flat with a 25mm tyre, doubt it is as hardcore as rutland? and a mate has finished top 10 last two years there on 22mm tyres

    One of my ambitions for my comeback...not this season though, maybe once I'm relocated back down south.
