[Zoglug]

Ive been comtemplating this but dont think i will get there this year! Anyway, i think people would be finishing the 200 miler before id completed the 100 miles! :D

That doesn't matter.

Another one over here for the 100miler

The better half has even given me a pass for this already so hate to miss out :D

[Ben98]

Im up for the 100 as well, and maybe 1/2 others

[Blackhound]

My hope is the 200. If training does not go as plan - such as last weekends incident - or poor conditions on the weekend I may switch to 100. Already done 100 miles this winter, but it was a flattish route.

[Dyffers]

I'm in for the 200, with sub-24hrs aspirations.

me and my bag of caffeine pills are gunning for sub 24!

I'm up for the 200 miles of joy/pain

Having spent a couple of hours running through the route this afternoon, all I can say is ... good luck

[slowupslowdown-under]

are you riding out too, Stu?

It's my birthday and I've nowt better to do

[adjustablewench]

vaguely exciting that must mean there will be cake (with candles!) so I'll be there :)

[burty]

im in for the 200 :? , I just need a new bike I think

[slowupslowdown-under]

wencho - 200?

[Ian]

Here's the first glimpse of the route:



Start at the small red square (Llanwrtyd Wells). Both routes follow the yellow line clockwise. At the point where it meets the red line, the Two Ton 'O Gravel breaks off, also ridden clockwise. Return to same point and finish off the rest of the Wildcat 100 (yellow). Each loop is 100 miles.

[slowupslowdown-under]

vaguely exciting!

looks big!

looking forward to the gpx files so can look at it in more detail!

good work fella!

[adjustablewench]

How could a little red and yellow squiggle possible hurt . . .

[adjustablewench]

wencho - 200?

Yes, why not :D

[Zoglug]

vaguely exciting and scary all in one post! Kind of making me consider the 100 now!

[pistonbroke]

Bloody hell, that's nearly every forest road I've ever ridden in Mid Wales. Could be a bit rough for the CX bike with carbon wheels I've just built, the trail NE of Nant Y Moch is pretty rocky

[slowupslowdown-under]

doh! sounds like a similar bike to one I am building!!

Don't expect any "frills" at that price though...

This is a self-supported race - you are responsible for you, etc.
The satisfaction of completion will be your reward :D
