If you are fast go down to the back and encourage someone, don\u2019t spend half a hour waiting at the top getting cold and grumpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*There is no entrance fee and hence no support , insurance ,food , t-shirt,medal, buff , plastic bag full of sh*te or any responsibility taken, although we would (usually) consider it bad form to leave someone behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*It is a hard day out both for you and the bike . Make sure both are well prepared and have adequate spares\/tubes\/food etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Because its four loops you can leave most food etc at the bottom as you will pass on each loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Leave no Trace \u2026at all, bar your tyre print .There are no markers or signs ..just keep up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Wear a helmet ( the only rule) ,in fact bar the helmet we are quite happy for you to be totally naked .

Similarly ,If you feel you might need a first aid kit bring one along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Respect other mountain users , walkers \/runners , because we might be a big group especially on the descents..remember point 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*When in pain ..SMILE .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/notthesundayrun.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_9243-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday 24th October 2026 Starting point forest office 9am ,Starting early strongly DIScouraged unless hoping to be caught on first lap , Or you are planning 5 laps which would be strongly ENcouraged A Reminder*It is\u00a0NOT\u00a0a race ,\u00a0not\u00a0even a sportive ,\u00a0nor\u00a0a challenge .
