Last year I managed 3 of the classics: Duddon, Ennerdale and Borrowdale all were great races (crawls) and this year, they (and the other 3) are definites on my 'to do list' of races for 2009.
I got lost coming off Gable, a notorious black spot but enjoyed every minute of finding my way back on track.
Didnt try the night life after the Borrowdale race (had to dash back) but will certainly consider it this year.
I will be there (thinking positive of course), count me in.
