    I’m in.
    Any idea how long the ride is this year, there seems to be a large margin in the advertising on the possible mileage. What sort of time do you think it will take to complete.

    The mileage will be between 30 to 35 miles
    still finalizing the route as the forestry
    work around the reservoirs has blocked the
    bridleway.
    Start and finish legs will be the same as last
    year, the bit in the middle should have a bit
    moor gnar 😀

    The moor gnar bit to include rock garden
    beneath hound tor, jays grave, climb of
    hameldown, grimspound, two moors way, descent
    to west coombe,manaton, lustliegh cleave,
    heavens gate, hisley bridge, classics to us
    locals, if you havn’t ridden them before get
    yourself down to debon me beauties 😀

    that sounds cracking, although hameldown with 50mph gusts and a ‘feels like’ temp of 1 deg might take the shine off a little bit!

    Well that was fun! great route, insane winds on top of hameldown. Amusing seeing lots of people pushing bikes uphill and then downhill! looked a bit like lots of blokes out walking their bikes….(including me..)
