Top film.
'the cobbled road of death' is presumably the climb from Belle Grange? 🙂
Yeah!
Loved it last year, weather was kind, everyone was friendly, drank way too much beer Friday.
Dammit, I'll be at a wedding in Scotland.
Excellent film and a great weekend!
Cheers for confirming dates Rich and hopefully see us Reading bunch again next year
Next years loop will involve a loop around Was****er so hopefully new trails and pubs 🙂
Belle Grange is indeed the vibration white finger descent when rigid 🙂
Next years loop will involve a loop around Was****er
Oooh! Still from Staveley?
Yes Martin still from Staveley a more direct route missing out Grasmere and a few other favourite BWs. Still 100 miles with those wanting to do a shorter 50 route turning at Coniston.
Not done this yet and really do want to do it, so in the calendar
Oooooh I'm famous!
(well I was in it twice for about 0.0005 seconds 🙂 )
Dammit - there's a duathlon on the Saturday that I'm planning to do. I'll have to make mind up....
Sounds good, hope to be there. Around was****er....hmmm, maybe a cheeky hikeybikey up Black Sail Pass to say hello to the LL200 guys?
Be on for some more of that!
Jimxc you could say Hi to them at The Wasdale Head Pub sod going up Black Sail save that for the maniacs
Excellent! I have done this on my own before at a very leisurely pace, are there still plenty of folk who adopt this more mortal approach to the ride?
Yes will always be those who ride as far as possible taking in all the Lake District has to offer not many racing snakes 🙂
Pencilled it in. With my pen. Definitely one of the best things I've done this year.
Bugger, just checked the calendar and it's on the same weekend as the one wedding I'm invited to next year. Looks awesome all, have fun.
Hopeful Rich 🙂
Route has be ridden and its awesome 🙂 but then again I would say that

Route looks superb Rich. Potential bivvi spot around wast water....means all night at the wasdale pubs and then a huge day two. Looking forward to it.
Ace. It's in the FunPlanner! hopefully I'll be able to make it this year. No babies due for us around that time, as far as I know!
I like the look of the route. Fewer options to bail, but I like the more distant out-and-back approach.
Do i have to follow you Rich to see the route or am i being dim?
Tweaked route to bring it down to 100 miles
Where do we sign up?
As I posted on the weekend rides threads, that's a cracker of a route. You get to ride past some of the best bits of the whole Lake District. If I can manage to get through spring uninjured for a change, I'm definitely up for it this time.
I will knock a website and Facebook event this week sometime entries will be via Eventbrite on the 1st of January,all the money will go to St Gemmas Hospice 50% and Ride For Charlie 50% thats after costs i.e. a few toilets for the campsite on the Friday night . There will be an Adventure Film night on the Friday night with a Wood fired Van outside Wheelbase with beer supplied by Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery. Alpkit will provide coffee and cake to get you up Jenkins Crag on the way back. There will be 3 routes the Hardcore Lakes 200(km) #jennride100 (miles) and a mini #jennride70 (miles)
Rich
Done! That's cheered me up a bit...
Every year I enter but never come - perhaps this year will be different?
Hope so DJ this years 100 will be one hell of a ride!!! there is a 70 route @ a very convienant spot if you struggle 🙂
35 entries snapped up already
Rich
Thanks Rich
Mate and his wife have signed up so have to do it now
My Mrs says she will do it too - now that there is another lady going
Lots of ladies take part in the event probably about a 70/30 split.
Sorry, dumb question time!!
So, being a 2 day event, where is everybody camping/bivvying?
Edit: Also, how fast so tickets usually sell out?
Cheers!
Is there a gps for the 70? Thinking about doing it in a oner again.

Wherever you happen to get to at the end of the first day! Last year there were a lot between Stephenson Ground and Walna Scar but that might have been due to the opening times of the cafe in Torver!
To have a fairly comfortable day 2 I would be looking at around Boot area the 70 in a oner will be a tough ask be very doable 🙂 the first 35 miles its pretty easy going
52 entries have been taken
Thats looking a good chunk tougher than the fifty this year. We got round that in about 9 hrs I think. Walna scar road at about half distance 🙂 that's going to smart a bit!
How many spaces are there? Trying to sort out with a couple of work colleagues to do it.
Entered! 🙂
I’m in again, each year has been a really good weekend of riding and meeting great people. The 70 looks ideal for me, did the 50 last year (because I hadn’t been out on the bike much) and it felt a bit short.
Along because of the kit I and my lad have....
What sort of night time temps are you looking at? Approximately.
Also, as above, how many spaces are there?
Thanks!
Up for this again, last year was great!
Would there be any issues if a few of us wanted to set off a bit earlier on the Sat? Last year we were riding until midnight to get walna scar done before stopping, would be good to have a bit more time to enjoy the bivvying
