Who else is riding this event?
I've ridden all parts of the route at various times but this looks like a good day out. Only 93 miles or so but 3000 m or so of climbing in one of Britain's best areas for cycling. I just have the feeling that perhaps the turnout might be quite small which would be a shame.

I'm trying to get it organised, as it's good training for the Marmotte, but I'm still 50/50 as to whether I'll manage it.
Good route - takes in many of my training rides/hills.
I'd recommend any potential rider to give it a go, as the Forest of Bowland is cracking countryside.Facts are meaningless, you can use facts to prove anything that's remotely true! - Homer0 -
I'll be there! I've ridden the route.....but not all in one go
It's very scenic. Sve a bit in your legs for the end. There are 2 horrible, fairly steep climbs out of Sabden en route back to Barley. Nick of Pendle's not the end!
Good luck.0 -
I'm doing the 60 miler version, but I've also got 15 miles each way from the B&B to top it up. Staying on for a few days too to investigate the more well known climbs in the dales.
Stil trying to decide what to do about watching the RR - go on the bike or go for a ride in the morning and drive over to see the end of the women's and full men's without having a bike to fend for.0 -
Yup, me and 6 mates have entered. Looking forward to it and gonna try and keep ahead of the broom wagon...0
