Bazo, think if I do one it will probably be Portobello, closest to where I'll be staying.

Porty is a nice park but not good for a time. Very tight and twisty. Belated happy birthday to ptb, sorry minded it on day. :-) G

Don't worry, you got here before I did G. Thanks all.

I'm led to believe the M50 category is pretty competitive, so I think I'll continue sitting it out :-)

M55 is pretty competitive too Paul. If you’re still running at 60 there’s a bit less competition,

Happy belated birthday.

I am only a year away from the M55 category but I would say that this will be the age category where I start to see a dip in my times.

I was thinking more - family, golf, box sets. But I guess if the ultra is slow enough there's some overlap :-)
