Anyone riding it this year (Nov 2nd) or ridden it last time round?

I did intend the Autumn Epic to be my sign off for the season, but maybe I could squeeze one more event in...

I had a short break in Exford over Christmas 4 years ago and did a 60 mile circular route taking in Dunkery Beacon, Dunster, Minehead, Porlock and Lynmouth. Stunning scenery on the first part of the ride and along the coast to Lynmouth, Porlock Hill was a bugger though. I can't comment on the scenery inland from Lynmouth as the fog came in and I couldn't see more than 50 yards up the road!

Yes, Both me and Bellew are doing it, probably the 100miler.

He did the 100k ride last year,

Alan.

I'm down for the 100m now.

What was the 100k like last year, Bellew?

Seems to get good reviews, so hopefully will be a well-organised effort.

I've not really done enough training as usual, but might take a couple of days hols to put in a few test runs beforehand.

Looks like a tough course.

Yes, Rode some of the course a couple of weeks ago, up through Watersmeet across to Simonsbath, It's a long old drag.
As it's my 1st 100miler I'm not going for any times I just want to get round.
