EPIC NEW GRAVEL EVENT

Yes, of course! Get involved.

Yes, get signed up! 

The route is signposted at all junctions but we recommend having your bike computer with the route uploaded in case you've got your head down and miss a turn. The GPX will be available in your Road Book, sent out in the lead up to the event.

This is no bimble around bridalways. That said, you've got plenty of time to get out on a gravel bike and get training. We pride ourselves in creating inclusive events; with prior preparation, practice and training we believe it's achievable for any ambitious rider.

Roving mechanics from Scott Bikes will be spread across the route and a mechanic will be stationed at the feed stop. However, you do need to be able to repair a puncture and carry all the tools you need to do so.

Swaledale Mountain Rescue have also joined the team to provide full safety support. A rapid-response medic will also be located at HQ throughout the event.

A cut off will be in place at the feed stop. This is to ensure everyone makes it around the route before dark. That said, we've got 12 hours of daylight. If you're struggling when you get to the feed you can always drop onto the 50km route and still be a finisher.

If, on the day, you've not got the legs for the 90km you can switch to the 50km at the feed. Just make sure you tell a marshal at the finish line and they will adjust your entry on the results. 

Camping is available at Dales Bike Centre which can include breakfast and dinner. There's also Grinton YHA, a host of B&Bs surrounds Reeth and in and around Richmond.
