I'm tempted to enter "racer". "Challenger" doesn't really look challenging enough, and I ain't no expert.
Have dropped an email to my regular mountain marathon race partner (and uncle) to see if he fancies doing it as a pair.
EDIT - thanks to Rob Lee for tweeting about this, otherwise I probably wouldn't have known the race existed. I'm also very humbled to see that he's following this blog. Check out Rob's blog for some inspirational biking exploits.
Rob's tweet got me looking at it as well....but not sure. Still it would be a fab challenge!
ReplyDeleteAnything that's worth doing has to have that, "oh, that looks a bit scary" feel to it... I was grinning while reading the webpage. Definitely a good sign. Go for it. Bet you could rope in a fellow Velocake rider to join you?
ReplyDeleteAli would kill me if I entered it at the moment, need to find a job first. It's the running that puts me off.
ReplyDeleteIs a wee bit pricey. Not that I'm a tight-arse or anything, but it is one of things that is appealing about the racer category! £30 cheaper!
ReplyDeleteI actually love running, and do bits and pieces of fell running, so feel pretty comfortable with that. In fact, entering will force me to do a bit more... Given the choice, I always reach for the bike rather than the trainers.
So far plans for next year are 24solo and kielder100....then hopefully some more bike races but have to wait and find a job first.
ReplyDeleteIt would be good if these things were cheaper.
