Has anyone does this before. I can't find any info on the route only that it starts at Cockerham.

momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Not done it, but found this from I assume last years run. No idea if it's the same route.

    Thats the 100 mile ride i think, there is a 50 mile option too, which goes from Cockerham through galgate, street, bleasdale, chipping, inglewhite garstang pilling and back to cockerham.

    did this last year and was a good event, will be doing it again this year

    Tis where I live :wink:

    Not sure if I'm doing it though, as there is a whiff of a rumour that an Alps trip could be happening around that time. I like Cockerham but I like the Alps more.

    Incidentally at the food stops is it free or do you pay, I've been on one you see.
