Great event and beautiful course. I did it on a gravel bike but I think it would be best on a MTB!

Great event and route for a newbie ultra endurance rider. Very easy to get to if travelling from London and the route super accessible with plenty of spots to fuel along the way so some aspects of race logistics made simpler. This was my 2nd attempt and will be back for sure!
