@Richard Jackson.. Thought I'd create a fresh thread for chat on this....in case anyone else happens to also be doing it. I'm looking at getting out beforehand for a ride on the course but no firm plans yet.

Who's up for our next pub run?
Saturday 18th April, weekend after the Easter Bank Holiday. Starting early afternoon.
We've decided to stick with the same route as last time.
Park gate Inn to Windmill, Maltshovel, Nelson, The Nags Head, The Swan and finishing at the Star.
Anyone is also welcome to join us on their bike. (Please remember a lock for outside pubs)
I raced it in 2018 with Rich. Great event. Would def do it again.
Two out of two done it and would do it again, I'll take that as a good sign!
Paul. Yeah, set up a thread. It’d be good to see if anyone else is doing it and fancies riding the course before hand .... I’d suggest anyone doing it rides the course it has double the climbing of staffs 70.3 ......I’ve got a house 30 mins drive away from the course, so training pretty easy to do 👍🏼
This is the bike course profile. It s a mountain
Good day in the saddle for sure. Certainly not a race I entered for PB ha. I'd be keen to pop out and ride it, if anyone else is game for a few days over for a bike then it'd be good for sure.
Ok, cool. Let’s touch base soon. I’m planning mid feb for the next training ride....
@Paul Bavington I’m looking to book a training few days 22nd Feb - 26th Feb, to ride this course again (and a couple of other routes) if you fancy it ?
@Richard Jackson cool, let me have a look at the dates and I'll confirm. Where do you normally fly from?
Birmingham to Malaga. The flights are currently about £88 return. Plus a bike if you were to take one. It’s cheaper to hire one there. They’re decent bikes.
Ok cool, I'll check it out 👍
Excellent. There’s currently 3 of us going 👍🏼 will ride the 70.3 route also some other mountain routes and get some sea swimming in.
Dates look good and doesn't clash with my stag do (real date I needed to check!). So I'm in....thanks 👍 My number is 07525846758, do you want to ping me a message when good and I'll book myself up. Bike hire sounds easy for a quick trip
Great. Will touch base tomorrow mate.
