I think there are more issues, such as bike set-up that become increasingly more important as you move away from DD. Most of us could, after a few laps, lap eachothers bikes at roughly the same pace as our own. I am not so sure that would be the case with the 848's.... certainly not if you wanted to be competitive. I think numpties like ourselves would only stand a chance if we rode for a team that knew what they were doing....

Some others might have a better idea, but I would hazard a guess you would realistically need a minimum of 30k to put up a decent show in the 848 challenge (including the bike and travel)
