I walked the course a good few years back and it took me a full, full day and I was completely done in. I slept all the next day. The worst parts were the run in to Baaregaroo and the section up and past Gooseneck. I couldn't do a lap now but I would love to try it !! The traffic is much more now than it was all those years ago so it is not safe to walk.

No, the April Fool announced that Shearer is to manage Newcastle, Honda or Norton but only the first one is true..

It had us all larfing until it was confirmed.
