Me and a group of mates are organising the 2nd MTB in Litton. Last years was great, despite the weather! All the money raised goes towards the upkeep of our community village hall. Hope to see some of you there. 🙂

Did the route yesterday in the lovely Sunshine that came out to see us. A much different day today though...........drizzzzzzzzzle.
Competitors t-shirts have been ordered by our web designer today. They look great.
There is still time to book online if anyone fancies a day in The Dales. There are a few spaces reserved for on the day bookings too, but you might want to email to let the team know you are interested.
Littondale is a truly lovely part of the country - some big hills though! I can't make it myself but I would encourage anyone who can to get themselves there.
Is it definatley the 22 mile route
Thankyou, it is a lovely part of the country. Shame you can't make it.
The whole ride takes in 360° views of Pen-y-ghent. Stunning.
Hi ya,
I measured it at 22.8 miles yesterday. Arncliffe - Litton - Pen-y-ghent- Helwith Bridge - Horton in Ribblesdale - Foxup - Litton - Arncliffe. (All off road apart from Arncliffe to Litton [2miles] & Foxup - Arnlciffe [3 miles] My favourite part was the down in Helwith Bridge from Pen-y-ghent, then the fast end into Foxup.
(There are escape options)
What time does it start?
9.30am mass start. Breakfasts available from 8.00am along side registration. Drink and cakes free for all competitors after their ride. (home made yummy cakes! :D) There is camping available also.
The forecast for next week is looking ace! The route will be fab.

I have been out on the trail this morning. The sun was such great company! The views just super duper and the downs aces! I have posted a few photo's of my travels on our facebook page. Feel free to have a look. http://on.fb.me/JYrQWG

Changed the bearings on my bottom bracket last night (starting at 6:30pm!) after work then decided to do Penyghent and much of the course, you may recognise some of the pics. Still very dry, very fast and a superb evening ride. Didnt see a single person or a single car all of the time and got back home at 9:45pm.
