    Hi RIch, thanks again for the organizing.

    Sorry for more questions but for the hard of thinking like me – I’m going to turn up on the morning on the bike ready to go – is registration and set off from the Eddie’s field camp site on the Saturday morning? Would be able to register Friday evening if not. And it sounds like we need a copy of the e-ticket and to be able to log in on the NHS app.

    thank you

    Andrew

    Just checking but what is the route? I’ve been scouring sites and there is a link that was published here 2 months ago but with 5 days to go I haven’t received any official communication. It would be handy to have a link to the gps, I also like to carry a printed version. Thanks everyone, hopefully see you all sometime, somewhere on Saturday!

    Not sure if he’s posted it on this thread but Rich posted this over on Bearbones so it’s public – https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35612923

    You’ll have to download it via the “More” link and choose “Export as file” then choose your poison from the dialog.

    Thanks Whitestone, all downloaded, just wanted to make sure I was following the right year and not riding solo! #billynomates!

    Rich – are any of the pubs/other eating establishments on route **not** taking cards now? I recall the pub in Seathwaite being quite unwilling to take card payment in 2019 – “we get charged too much”.

    I’ve not used cash since March last year…!

    Thanks

    @postierich – Thanks for the latest message with the final route. Is this route any different to the one that was posted earlier in this thread (I have just marked that one out on my paper map).

    Just about to make a donation to the hospice as well.

    Thanks for organising, I am really looking forward to this.

    I think the end is different with going over sadgill in a slightly more circuitous route.

    I hope this is the only change as am in dale’s for  few days before heading over to lakes and have no way of updating my GPS whilst away from home!

    I will get a decent ride in even if I am doing my own unique route!

    think the end is different with going over sadgill in a slightly more circuitous route.

    Slightly different in Grizedale Forest – does the North Face Climb and doesn’t drop down Lawson Park.
    After Iron Keld the route goes round by Cathedral Quarry and then back over to Tilberthwaite.
    Doesn’t take the footpath on the west side of Blea Tarn but sticks to the road.
    Goes over to Sadgill then back over Green Quarter rather than direct up from Kentmere.

    I think those are the only differences.

    Please ride the footpath around Blea Tarn 🙂

    Latest route just published, not too different from the earlier one just a few tweaks:

    Cut and paste this, seems to work:

    I think I have a lucky dip every time I go through grizedale anyway so it will be usual service!

    Strava route link if it helps anyone, I think subscribers can grab the GPX off there.

    The Alltracks link is really ropey for me – the thumbnail at top left and the elevation profile always appear but the main map is purely random as to whether it’s shown or not. Just did a refresh and the main map appeared for about half a second before disappearing.

    Not sure why Rich has used Alltracks rather than Ridewith GPS as with the earlier version.

    We paid by card in the Seathwaite pub twice last month with no problems.
    Actually three times 😃

    Here is a revised version of the original AllTrails route if anyone is interested. I traced in Ride with GPS and adapted to the heatmap.Its more or less the same as the Strava route above but includes some sections of the North Face trail that are missed out + I tried to clean up in one or two areas.There is a cuesheet too but it looks a bit overbearing at first glance. Downloading the gpx as opposed to tcx should get ride of the cuesheet or I guess you can switch off notifications

    Thanks for posting those @martinhutch and @djflexure. I was half way through tidying the original RwGPS route when the amended route was published so that saves some pain. Looking forward to seeing you out there.

    I’ve updated turn by turn instructions – weeding out most of the chaff, so hopefully not as intrusive and more useful.

    Not done this ride before.

    Is it just a case of turning up and starting to ride on Saturday morning, following the GPS route?

    Is there any checking in and out ?

    I live in Kendal so will probably just ride to the start.

    I think there’s a sign-on. In previous years you’ve been given a number/running board and it gets you a free/reduced coffee and cake at Alpkit or similar. Not sure what Rich has planned for this year. He’s mentioned having the NHS app on your phone to scan an event code but I’m not sure if that’s just for those camping up at the field.

    Tim F sign in and out please so I know who is still out there. I have been sending messages out on the Eventbrite site!

    295 riders room for 5 more if your game

    £4500 target has been reached but pretty sure we can double that by the end of the ride

    https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/richard-munro11

    Bob yes Alltrails is a pain sorry  but ride gps was glitchy for me when I updated.

    Weather looks goo rain today to dampen the dust!
