I must admit I have done this ride a "few" times as an ride around in the crowd with no number.... I suspect there will be about 2000 doing it in a similar way on Sunday with the good weather.
I have always had the decency not to snaffle the cake at the halfway point when doing it in cheeky mode.
My club had the most entries [ from the same club] one year, that was about 20 years ago when there were a fair few road bikes to be seen doing it... some with mudguards
:roll:
If I enter next year I might well do it on a 3 speed road bike, just for old times sake
