A. NO …a definite no! The event is for cyclists of all abilities. There are experienced cyclists and club members who take part, but equally there are those who are taking on a challenge that is beyond anything they have ever done before. We think the event is a bit more sociable than the average sporting event. We build-in refreshment stops along the way and we don’t time anyone. For the experienced cyclist the event can be a bit of fun and perhaps the opportunity to sell cycling to your friends and colleagues, for the casual cyclist it’s a serious challenge. Either way, there is no timing and it’s not a race.Q.
