    It's a classic Stagger! You run a bit, cycle a bit, jump off your bike and find you have legs like bambi, then run the same loop that you started with again. The run loop is 4 miles, the bike is about 23ish(?). Starts and finishes from a pub! :thumbup:

    And all around the dales.

    As dominion says! All on the road, on the bits round the bike course you may possibly have the added bonus of dodgy sheep, dealing with some rain but definately a good finish. 3.8 mile loop for the run, 23 miles for the bike. Field used for transition bits. We also have a sheltered registration (the gazeebo died in the wind last year) and showers/toilets thanks to the Local Cave Club!

    fancy having a go at this but never done one before. do you get changed from running gear to cycling gear and vice versa in the transition field? just thinking about decency etc whilst changing into a skinsuit?

    If you're that serious can't you just run in the skin suit?
