nice... oh so tempting! who's doing it from here then?

I'm thinking a gravel bike would be more suited to this type of event rather than a 'full' cyclocross. It's 48 miles on road and 33 miles off road, mostly fire track. I can't see myself getting into cyclocross racing anytime soon and the gravel bike would make a better winter steed for the road.

agree... i once did an mtb race course on a road bike for fun. survived just fine... keep the presures slightly low, heavy duty tubes and run much wider tyres

Tony Yule bought his cannondale slate for this very purpose,

gravel bike is totally what you need,

Cotic do lovely ones that wont brake the bank and have 105 groupset,

or you could just man up and do it on a hardtail with the right tyres for the job

my 1992 Alves will be getting built up soon, but i need an excuse to buy a new bike.

I hope the 28mm 700c tyres that didnt fit on my roan bike will fit the cyclecross bike for winter.

Be nice to see your old bike built

If those tyres don't fit the bike you buy (im sure they will) let me know, ill buy them off you for my 1990 Raleigh Triathlon.

I got new forks for the MTB the other day

140mm Rockshox Yari's. cant wait to get out and have a play this weekend and see how different they are to the 120mm Reba's it had.

I bought a GT Grade roadbike in the wiggle sale recently, bloody excellent bike, very light and is capable of offroad too, not quite full cyclocross but probably gravel and paths etc. Came with slicks so tyre change required for the rougher stuff.

The 105 version is currently on wiggle for £700.
