It's not a proper race, nobody takes it seriously.

You may find that a few take it very seriously, and travel at a rather frightening pace. When I entered last year I pedalled as quick as I could (which is not very quick), and ended up 383rd :smile: The winner was going at about 50% faster than me. I did manage to get ahead of David Millar for a corner or two though :whistle:!!!

I did the 2009 race at Blenheim Castle. Was slow and out of condition but had a great time. The course was hillier than I expected so I was grateful for the 18% reduction on the gearing! It's a mix of the bizarre and the deadly serious who will get annoyed if balked by a slow rider in a gorilla suit! (wasn't me!). My T5 is still wearing its laminated race number.
