    Looking at your SC Stats, your not far off what would be needed I imagine!

    Team SCR forming.. :wink:

    Team of 4, 3000 miles, 8 days, 94 miles each a day. Sounds doable....

    Now how do I erase this thread from my memory and hide it permanently.

    Team of 4? Cast of thousands, more like!
    FCN 2-4.

    Oh, its a relay style team, scrap that, sounds a bit easy(?!)

    Was thinking it was a all riders out as team taking turns on the front.. only problem is team SCR would constantly be attacking itself... :lol:

    No problem if you all want that, just enter it solo and take each other on. This year, I think the leading solo guys were averaging nearly 20mph for the first 48 hours!

    Also nothing to stop a team having all four riders out at once.

    Indeed. What with that amount of training, plus a job, I imagine mrc1's family had forgotten what he looked like.
