    Thanks for you entry!

    It is pretty undulating. Have a look at last years video:

    Gives you an idea of the circuit. Very quiet roads, passing through Monyash where lots of spectators watch the race.

    I did this race last year and it's a good one. A few challenging hills to keep you honest. Definitely tougher than your normal flat road circuit and can highly recommend it.

    I'd come again this year, but I'll be out for a ride with Greg LeMond that day instead. :oops:


    (yes - THAT Greg LeMond)

    Would love to ride this again, not often we get to race in the Peak District. Great weather last year, good challenging lumpy circuit and well organised - free tea and cakes afterwards I seem to remember. :)

    (Un)fortunatley will be travelling back from Scarborough on the Sunday after a full day of drinking on the Saturday :)

    Make sure he's taken some Immodium before you go out with him

    Suffered a severe bout of Diarrhoea during a stage 1989 TDF. Ate a dodgy peach apparently, borrowed a team mates hat, filled it and let the rest run down his legs. Carried on and finished the stage.

    Acceptable if yellow jersey is a stake. Probably just abandon if its High Peak RR at Chelmorton.

    I think we have gone off-topic from Marc's original post. :)

    Come over to Ireland and you can meet and ride with the man yourself! However - he IS putting on a special seminar just for my squad. :)

    Correct. 10 out of 10. LeMond a true legend of the road - not only that the diarrhoea cleared up a nasty saddle boil he had.

    Can this be raced if you dont have a licence and are just a club rider ?

    You can buy a TLI day licence (£5) and enter on the day (£16) = £21 all up. You will need a helmet.

    The racing is handicapped, meaning that the less experienced riders set off first, then an intermediate group about 5-6 minutes later, then the fast group another 5-6 minutes after that. First over the line after the 42 miles is the winner regardless of which group you set off in.

    Was won last year by a ringer from the front group I think :)

    Can the TLI licence be bought on the day at the event mate? Or do you need sort it through their website?

    Dont know for definite, but I would be very surprised if it can't just be bought on the day.

    Ring/email organiser??

    I'd contact the organsier and confirm that you will be riding as a day member.

    Email here:

    jscoll@mypostoffice.co.uk

    Some info here:

    Although the cost looks to be £4.00 on the TLI website. This may have changed.
