I’m off to Gisburn this Saturday to tackle the Red Route.

Has anyone got any insight into what a decent time would be?

Cheers

What do you mean decent time,do you mean 9:00 am before the families get there or as in how long it will take you to do it?

If you’re purely just doing the red as a speed exercise, anything from around an hour upwards.

Decent for me is anything under 90 minutes, add a bit more if you’re planning to do the optional blacks and the hope line.

Beat this time and you’re doing alright http://www.strava.com/activities/41654596#745180383

My best is 1 hour 19 mins,I haven’t tried to improve on that since but I’m sure there are a few that have done it faster,like I said in my first reply it’s usually better to go early to avoid the families,don’t get me wrong I like seeing families up in Gisburn and there are enough of them giving it a good go fair play to them,but they can hold you up iff your timing yourself.

Im having my second go on Thursday after the first ate a chain and spat me over the bars ? then I’m riding back to keighley on’t roads

looking for miles in the legs

That’s a big ride!

Im not scared of a big un ?

Watch yourselves on the Northshore. Slippery when wet.

Forget about times and just have fun. Surely that’s the point…
