Probably scared they will get outdone by a younger riderAgreed, 28 is an odd number. Probably dictated by an insurance company

That aint me for sure.Hmm, if I do get picked for the final, I'd have to do a 10 mile TT
Do you think there'll be a consolation prize for the slowest?

I did the Bolton ride yesterday, it was well done with Bury velo leading the way over a relatively tough 45 miles, decent coffee and cake and very hospitable Jag hosts, it was also odd to have a proper team sky support car pull over and help with a puncture. Good fun, cost nowt and would do it again .

There was nothing on the finals day that warrant a minimum age of 28. We did the 'driving' part of the challenge in a Sportbrake S, hardly the most powerful of beasts and the course was made up of cones on a large open part in the middle of the track, so no chance to hit anything. I can only guess it's an insurance stipulation imposed upon them. We didn't get to drive the XKRS's or F-Types, but I did get to drive a big heavy V8 XJ on the skidpan with shane which was a giggle:

That, or as it's basically a marketing thing Jag know who their target market is and don't want to fill the places up with people they aren't about to sell a car to...

Never thought of that, but how many people are actually going to buy a jag from the event lol

Very few, but probably more 29 year olds than 19 year olds would. I'd find insurance to be an odd reason for that age limit, just looking for a reason that feels less odd.

Tell them you listen to radio 3 and cant decide between the jag or a new E class. Also, you will ask your magistrate friends what they think when you next play 18 holes.
That'll convince 'em!
Got the route for my ride this saturday. Only 30 miles (they could easily have done better) but there is at least a "nice" looking climb in there, should be a pleasant ride 
They've sent me a tag for the bars with emergency contact details etc. and apparently we all get a goody bag for showing up. Probably the usual tat, but we shall see!
Over 70 riders have signed up
