    Hey, just wondering would most people use their TT bike for this or go with a road bike and clip on bars? I know there are some tough climbs with pretty technical descents....any advice appreciated!

    TT bikes are very popular. There's only one technical descent. The climbs are long and steady rather than short and steep so I'd go TT.

    It'll be TT bikes all round. See you there.

    I'd rate the descents but not the ascents if that makes sense. If you can descend on your TT bike use that.

    And even if you can't, I'd still bring your TT bike. Tricky descents make up only a small section of the course.
