Anyone here doing, or fancy doing this? Looks like a cool little event!

EDIT: I have to admit that I do work for the NT but have nothing to do with this event!

Just seen this. Likely to give it a shot although the weather doesnt look to good at the mo...

Anyone ridden any of the route before? Any good?

r8jimbob88 - yes - it's non-tech fast / fun, mostly on double-track. Good if you like that sort of thing.

Weather looks OK to me!

Dales is bone dry at the moment - all of this will be fine, even with a bit of drizzle here and there. Mastiles is riding beautifully fast. Only tech bit is cleaning the climb up Stockdale.

It's basically the Settle Loop turned into a figure 8 by including Mastiles and Arncliffe Cote. Arncliffe can be a bit of a grind, but even that should be relatively pleasant.

I did it last year - weather was horrific and I abandoned at half way point.

Currently watching weather forecast before making a decision for Sunday.

Weather was exceptionally bad last time. I think I'd have taken one look out of the window and binned it. Well in excess of 30mph winds.

Most of the Strava times set along Mastiles Lane with that tailwind will not be beaten for a while, I think.
