I'm not riding myself, will be out with the Nikon near the start (probably on a hill to get the best "pain" shots!) of the 175km route and at the finish in Teignmouth. Come and say hello if you are

I'm going to watch. Wanted to do the 70k route but still waiting for my new bike to arrive,

I'm doing the 175km route with my club, Yogi. Looking forward to it but know I'm going to have a very, very hard time on the hills.

Yep, I'll be doing the 175km route.

Did Peak Hill out of Sidmouth yesterday in a 39x27, wouldn't want many more gear inches than that as my bottom gear - it's going to be painful after 80 miles.

I've taken the wheels from my 'good' bike which has a double and put them on the bike I'm using which has a compact. Every little bit helps.

I'm not doing that myself, but I would maybe do it with some mates another weekend. Looks like a good route.

I know the route from Exeter onwards. (The closing bit.) The final drop down into Teignmouth could be quite quick...

Good luck to all taking part, I hope the weather is suitable.
