Anyone doing this event tomorrow?
Done it before a few years ago, seem to remember it’s a nice ride out
Can any locals comment on trail conditions etc?

I’m going tomorrow and looking forward to it. I better slow down on the beers soon though.

Not doing it but it’s all dry round Tod/Hebden with only a few isolated puddles here and there. Enjoy.

Hard tail or full sus?

Should be ok, the only usual boggy stuff is midgley moor, but probably as dry this year as it’s ever been, not doing this year though as family stuff instead, don’t be put of but did it 2 yr ago and came off broke my shoulder blade and 3 ribs!!! Owch !!!!

I’ll be there. After all the rain on Tuesday I’m expecting puddles and mud!
And hardtail for me, I’ll be on an On One Scandal 26er.

Midgley Moor was a bogfest 2 weeks ago, and it’s rained a lot since. Rest of route will be fine tho. Looking forward to it!
I might struggle to ride past the weavers and climb back up to Sowerby though!

Well organised, nice route, good weather and not too muddy.
Enjoyed it today.
Got round in 2:13

Was aiming for sub 2hrs30 and managed 2hrs26.
Great morning to be out but can’t say I enjoyed it!!

Were there any cross/gravel/gnarwhatever bikes?

Yeah I passed two just before the last decent,

Really enjoyed today, Great ride, amazing scenery very well organised. My tyre blowout at the 12km point didn’t help though
