    I haven't entered this yet, but I did it 2 years ago and am seriously thinking about it this year. The long route is a similar length and elevation to the Fred Whitton but it goes into the Peak District from Nottingham. It hasn't got Hardknott, but it does have some steep climbs which will have a few people walking. In theory the weather should be better being in early June, but when I did it it was cool and wet.

    Should have entered early

    'Important update from BCC exec: We are cancelling the Beeston Cycling Club Sportive because of the very low registration numbers leading up to the 1st of July. '
    I had entered a while before it was cancelled, but obviously few others did. I think that perhaps the problem was a lack of publicity - it didn't need a massive entry to make it work.

    I am a bit lost as to what else to ride before September. Can it be that i will have to whip out maps and crayons rather than turning up to a paid event and following road signs mindlessly

    Yep. And discover the joy of getting lost. Its the only way I find new routes these days.
