You gotta respect the men that turned up on them though as some sections are challenging on an old bike to climb.
@iveto1983 crazily rode to the spot and back home - think he was at 55miles when he left us with maybe another 25-30 home - on a WTB phoenix
@longun picked a very unsuitable 88 Trekker which did amazingly well
@Markybeau had the narrowest bars known to man combined with a slightly compressed twitchy fork
And @Corduroyboy we agreed likely had the best suited bike to the job with a F8 RC200. However he then proved they crash spectacularly too.

(I can’t say much as I was on modern filth )
