There was a programme on about it a few months ago- hilarious.

The (eventual) winner literally collapsed in a heap accusing the bloke who crossed the line in front of him of cheating, which stood.


Proper nutcases.

£400 to enter? Flippin' eck!

My brother did it a few years ago. Crazy fecker even cycled there and back.

It was a great day out (for us watching, nice and warm - not for him).

Fair play to anyone who enters.

A friend of mine is entering - he is slightly mad - he's already done a few events so far this year including a half marathon- it's training for his cycling around the world trip which starts next April.

I've told him. Good luck and hope it goes well!

One of Reuter's pictures of the year 2009 was a man doing this race in a Borat style mankini .

Lik to picture

Might have been the summer version. The local midlands news used to do a short piece on this every year. Always fancied it, will never be fit/crazy enough.
