According to Facebook this is the Sportive everyone's talking about.... Can't see any mention on here :P
Anyone thinking about doing it?

    No!

    I did 'The Struggle' last year which was tough enough. This is another 90 miles and 5k of climbing.

    I fear this might actually be the case, they may have gone a step too far and fail to get enough interest. I am tempted though :)

    I have signed up for this ! Why ? Moment of madness that i am now regretting !!
    I too did the Yorkshire Struggle Dales sportive earlier this year and it was tough so I suspect this may break me !
    Have done C2C in a day which is 150 miles and about 13K climbing so the Beast has another 50 miles and 3K climbing.

    Will need some serious hill training and plan to start this Jan 1st 2018 but will be reliant on having some half decent winter weather.

    I did a 200 mile solo ride this year, hilly but not as much so as this! The big hills in the last 60 miles of this ride is sure to do for a few riders. Pretty sure I'm gonna give it a go though - love a challenge :? . Do you know how many have entered so far?

    Last count I saw for entries was 175. Think the max is 1000 but will be surprised if they get that many sign up.
