just been watching you tube and vimeo and thought of a way of mixing it up a bit.

How about last section is a timed run UP the nevis range down hill course?

There is another route back down but you've no chance of getting permission to ride up the downhill track in large numbers. Do you have any idea how much it cost to build and maintain.

Cost a few million... but that was stumped up by the good old tax payer/government grants. As well as the cycle path and 2 bridges that got put in and for some unknowen reson some cyclalists dont like to use that path.

Another timed run!!.... never mind that ever day is a timed run and your already sort of it....hahaha

I seem to remember Overthehill putting a very testing end to the six days through the bog and old dead stumps, you lot better be carefull of what you ask for, you just might get it.
