    Top film.

    ‘the cobbled road of death’  is presumably the climb from Belle Grange? 🙂

    Next years loop will involve a loop around Wastwater so hopefully new trails and pubs 🙂

    Belle Grange is indeed the vibration white finger descent when rigid 🙂

    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.

    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 🙂

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!
