23.1, thankyouverymuch.

Probably down to under 22.5 by next Sunday. And then back up again once
I've "rehydrated" post-race.

Oh, they've published the route now:
https://www.plotaroute.com/route/1683811?units=km

Couple of nasty little climbs at the start, just to get you warmed up.

I've been using a similar one, https://www.mapmyride.com/ for years.
Very useful to see all the climbs, can even 'fly' you through the
route.

Ta muchly. I have quite a few walks and other explorations on my

:-)

yes - comes under the Audi branch of VAG. My local Audi dealer has several
Ducati bikes on display for kids to dick about on whilst parents are
persuaded to sign up to a PCP deal.

There have been several rumours about VW divesting the brand.

I think we drifted to "one would...", but fair point about the wheels
on this thing.

<looks>

Nice. The first couple of km (2.79km, to be precise) might be a bit
brutal, but it's all downhill after that.

As it's (mostly) off-road, I hope it's not too wet (=muddy, =slippy)
for you going downhill

Oooh.

Hexham, I used to go out with a red head called Michelle from Hexham when I were knee high to a moped.
I'm pretty sure I'd be half the man I was BMI wise if we were still together. Non stop, indoors and outdoors.
Probably been involved in a channel 5 documentary by now if her Volkswagen Audi Group hasn't fallen off.

Gets the nasty bit over and done with in the first 15 minutes or so, at
least.

It's odd - while I'm very comfortable sliding around on a mountain
bike, dirt bike, snowboard (well, obviously), etc, I seem to have a
particular fear/horror of losing my footing when walking (or running)
downhill

Harsh.

I think it's an age thing, osteoporosis does lead to a fear of falling.

It also causes people in glass houses to forget about throwing stones.
