    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

    No issues in setting off early don’t forget you will have more daylight seeing thats its July! The first 35 miles will go pretty quick due to the route

    Hi Rich

    Missed the signup and now it’s “sold out”, is there any chance of two previous riders donating and joining the ride?

    Thanks.

    Hi Rich. Looking forward to it. What is parking like in Stavely? I know it is pretty tight around Wheelbase but would need somewhere to park the car overnight. Any recommendations? Cheers

    WE open up the old cricket field for parking and overnight camping on the Friday drive past the entry to the Millyard there will be signs!

    Erm, what bike?
    Either a heavy full suss, or an ancient carbon 26″ now running a 2.8″ semi-fat at the front on a rigid steel fork, or my xbike I guess; thinking the 26″ being the one to go for. Of the 100 miler I think I only know the Walna Scar section (to my shame) which would go rather slowly without suspension. Hmmm. Grateful for any thoughts…?

    Doable on a rigid fat tyred bike not so much so on cx bike but you might have a higher pain threshold than me 🙂

    Just having a look at the route for the 70 mile course and trying to figure out where to camp. Halfway point appears to be around Walna Scar road and I’m not sure wether to stop before Walna Scar ( pros: wont be climbing at night, cons: more to do the next day) or stop after/on the road (pros: got it out of the way and nice downhill in the morning, cons: might not have the energy!). Any advice?

    On the Torver side of Walna Scar is Torver Low common (on OS map) it was part of last years route and a nice spot for overnight bivvi after a quick pint at the pub at Torver.
