    39 lined up for Friday. Looks like the weather is going to hold out.

    Should be a good one.

    Oh, that's on the other side tied on to the pannier.

    Not actually riding the Knot this year. That pic is in the course of a 680km spin down the Loire and up the Nantes-Brest canal just completed. 6 days of glorious pedalling...

    Old thread but warrants a refresh with this year's event due to start on Friday morning at 6.00am

    Signed up for this after a number of years completing 200s but deciding this year to ramp up the distances to see where it will bring me. Completed the SR series (Kings Mountain - Midlands - Brown Stuff - Eoin McLove) so hope to have the strength there to see me through a three day event.

    Conditions look mixed with temperatures remaining mid teens with frequent showers but imagine it to be the atrittional fatigue that will be the biggest enemy over the course of the weekend.

    Anyone else here signed up?

    OleRodrigo probably. Has told me in person how good it is and that I should give it a lash. I've signed up and pulled out twice. This is arguably the first year I'd prbably have the legs for it but I'm thankfully otherwise engaged

    Me, I'm in for my second one. I need this for an ACP Randonnuer 10,000 medal. I'm looking forward to the Clare section.

    Best of luck to everyone doing the CK this weekend, hopefully you're not hampered too much by the weather.

    Halfway through the full thing. 510km done. Weather was atrocious yesterday and we had a block headwind to today's first control. Through the Burren and heading south to the Silver mines. #ShutUpLegs

    Fair play to all doing this, hope the weather picks up a bit for the remainder.

    Well the wind is back and the rain is chasing me to Enniscorthy. Slieve Blooms climbed, just the nasty little Kilkenny hills between me and Wexford. 250km left in 21 hours. Be grand...

    The wind picked up a fair bit for a while this evening so hopefully it was a tail wind for those doing this.

    37 starters, 26 finishers. It was hard but not impossible. I finished at 05:12 this morning and I wasn't last.

    You don't get to choose the route or the weather, you just have to deal with both as they happen.
