What about the markers you are advised to start at based on your estimated finish time..........................??????? Sounds to me like there may be an awful lot of people expecting to do a sub 3:30.

Best of luck everyone
Not necessarily at the front, but find a wheel that is going at a pace you can just about stick with and sit on it... don't worry about doing your turn.
I'm trying to avoid the ecoli the missis has got
hanging with that sort of speed on fat tyres and twiddly gears is beyond me too..
trouble is everyone seems to be going full throttle on the road to get position
I saw a video, on U tube, of last years race and it takes the bunch about 5 mins to pass the stationary observer positioned at the first offroad section ( so about 5 miles in) , from fastest at front, to the ones taking it sensibly at the rear...
in the grand scheme of things that's not alot in a race that lasts anywhere from 3 hrs to inexcess of 5 hrs...
it's a great race and
I just thought i'd mention, as it was a suprise to me as a 3P'S numpty last year, nowt to worry about though, as for most it's a thrilling if tough few hours of fun....mostly
This is about 1 mile into the race somwhere between Helwith Bridge & Horton in Ribblesdale.

problem is lots of people ignore them...whether it's road running, fell running or whatever...quite alot of slower people insist on being at the head of the race even if they don't have the ability to stay there for 100yds

The races of 2004, 2005 & 2006 all witnessed less than 20 riders breaking the 3:30 mark!
Looks like the start of a roadrace, so I shall be at the front if I can as it is easier to be overtaken than to have to overtake.... Only thing is, the roadraces I have done never had more than 120 people in them! It is going to be a bit more crowded on Sunday
