@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.
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 👍🏼
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.
@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 ?
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.
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
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!

@Richard Jackson cool, let me have a look at the dates and I'll confirm. Where do you normally fly from?

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.
