My long run for this weekend is scheduled for approx. 20 miles. I was tempted to throw a last minute hat in the MvH ring. Fortunately the 'entries are now closed' on the website stopped me long enough to see sense. :-)

Thanks for the very kind offer James. I'm going to stay sensible and do my long bike on Saturday morning and long run on Sunday.

I would advise you to leave plenty of time to get up there and get parked. Parking was pretty scarce when I went up for it before. Depends how far you're prepared to walk to/from the race.
