Both times I did it I used 200x23C UltraSports.
I had a visit from the fairy in 2007 but it was chucking it down and could probably have happened when I hit the sleeping polisman at Dumpellier. It was flat enough to be a problem not long after the climb out of Queensferry.
I'm sure I've seen guys doing it on 18's.
Just wheel suck a fat guy on a mountain bike makes it so much easier.Do Nellyphants count?

This sounds like a great opportunity to get a bit of cycling done. What food would you need to carry for a 51 miler ?Trek 1.5 Triple 2011 Black

If it was like last year, water & bananas at the first, same at second with cakes I think (only stopped to use the loos at that one), Soup, roll, bananas, tunnock wafers at Linlithgow. Plenty to keep you going.2010 Trek 1.2
