Slightly off topic but I see the record for Ireland's BG equivalent The Dennis Rankin Round has been broken with a 13.37 clocking by Steven Shields that takes 46 mins off Konrad Rawlik's (Jasmin's husband) existing record from 2017.

Definitely a summer for breaking records ( or in my case an old favourite Denby mug  )

I occasionally have thoughts about a BG (going back a page) and then realise that it's about 40miles (or 64km) too far for me.
Maybe even 50miles too far

Actually at the moment, I can't even run 5miles on the flat properly

I used to, on occasion, be able to have semi-respectable runs on the road, XC and even the odd shorter fell race.
At the moment I'm wondering if my running and cycling days might be behind me if I can't shake these niggles.

I often think that, but then I forget and get up the next morning and go for a run. Senior moment

I'm with Rosehip on the enjoying reading about it all, and have no round aspirations. I have such dodgy ankles, one little misstep and I'd be toast...plus vertigo which makes steep descents really fun (not!).
rf and MC, I'm fine on the flat (though prefer a bit of undulation), hills (going up) slay me!

FF - Careful here - "Ireland's BG equivalent The Dennis Rankin Round". I think you mean Northern Ireland. ;).
I know you will have seen it but Paddy O'Leary made a great film last year about the Wicklow Round. Like John Kelly he didn't hold the record very long though...
