The title of that event sounds as inviting as 'Mad Hare' but I am afraid that after having destroyed 2 tyres on off-roads section last year, I guess I am going to safely abstain.
Probably be nice if I had a proper gravel bike with bigger tires

Hi Paul, the route looks way tougher than last year and includes the dreaded "Waltonberg". Unfortunately, I came down with Covid last week and am now recovering so I'll be doing a much tamer ride this weekend all being well.

Hi Rich

Yep, tend to agree with you, more off than on road so best to give it a miss

Get well soon buddy and hope you recover well
Thank You
