Try this -

There's an entry form etc. which you can download.
Sean Kelly, Malcolm Elliott, Martin Earley rode last year - along with 1290 others.
Bit of a bind for me getting to Stoke early though. It would have to be early to make sure I had enough time to get round without needing lights!
How does a hilly 55 road miles compare to 20 off-road miles in the Peaks?

So does it start and end in Stoke - probably give it a miss if it does (too many motor logistics)... the C & F climb out of Macc is a 7 mile grind - sort of thing Typhoid Eddie does before an early morning bowel movement, mind... ;-)
I'd say 21 miles in the Peaks would be about the same as 55 hilly road miles - both aids to a good night's sleep!

It starts and finishes at Brian Rourke's shop in Burslem which is not an easy place to get to from here. Also, I don't know what parking would be like, I expect there will be a lot of cars from riders travelling to the event from a distance.
I was reckoning that the effort of last weekend would be similar to riding this. At least the surface won't be as slippery if (when?) needing to walk!

I've just entered (along with a mate who is 17kilos lighter...great!)
Entry is £15 here:

Proceeds go to Cystic Fibrosis.
cat & fiddle not so bad (bit like a small alp) but there are some still long steeper climbs on route...
