Yeah not this Sunday mate but i'd be keen on that, it's one sweet piece of road. Maybe before the end of the good weather though.

That's a great day ride! Good practice for the TT with it being around the 1,000km mark. Did it mid-winter a couple of years back - very crisp start but a fantastic day out...
