Right, If we sit around talking about this, nothing is going to happen so... If you're genuinely interested in riding this, drop me a PM and tell me which of these catagories you are in.
1. I'm a novice, I have no competitive streak in me and I want to ride this for the party/lager/chicks etc. I will do no training before hand.
2. I'm averagely fit and I'm going to put the hammer down a little, but basically I'm entering for the fun of it. I will do a little training.
3. I get competitive, I'll say I'm not taking it seriously, but when I get there I'll want to get a result. I'm already secretly thinking about training.
4. See you suckers at the finish line.
I, for example, would class myself in cat3. I'll see who we have in which catagories and post up potential teams for approval.
