Moors One Hundred 2019
Good afternoon from Yorkshire
We are now accepting entries for this years Moors100. Taking place over the weekend of 11-12 May, same format as last year with a slightly tweeked route on day one, still around the 50 mile mark, and a new route for day two with an overnight stop at the fantastic High Paradise Farm. After last year's mass no show, we are doing pre ordered tickets only at £25 per head. This is still a non profit event, I'll not be getting a single penny (but feel free to buy me and Gil a pint!), the ticket covers camping, an evening meal, your first pint of locally brewed fine ale (YOU WILL WANT MORE!) and a breakfast roll and a tea/coffee (and a free hangover) on the Sunday morning. We'll be putting on some live music too. Pretty good value for money I think.
Start will once again be at Goathland, where Friday night camping and all weekend parking will be available at the village community hub for a small donation that goes towards the running of this vital local asset. GPX route and marked maps will be available at the start.
If you are new to the event, you will have 100 miles of pretty steady riding to look forward to. The route is roughly 85% off road, mainly single track with the rest made up with very quiet country lanes. Day two is a little easier this year with more options for food and drink along the route. Expect 6-8 hours riding each day allowing for a relaxed and sociable pace. Expect some wonderful scenery, fun trails through forest, over moorland shooting tracks, ancient drove roads, Roman camps, Steam railways, Cold War radar stations, Pre Historic monuments, country pubs and excellent company throughout. Plus a right good knees up on the Saturday night at High Paradise Farm.
Hope to see you all on't Moor

Re: Moors One Hundred 2019
I would definitively have been signing as its so close to me so not too bad on fuel and the price of £25 is a steal. Unfortunately though its the month of fasting (ramadhan) for me. It goes back by around 10 day every year (this year is May7th til June4th) so possible in 2021 or 2022. Will keep my eyes peeled for more of your events or other relatively short local ones..
Re: Moors One Hundred 2019
Just realised ive double booked this weekend , !!! .. this and the Birmingham Velo which is on my doorstep !
Re: Moors One Hundred 2019

Dont worry about that. Gini will have a couple of very good local ales on tap. Save weight and just bring pepto and paracetamolwindjammer wrote:Signed up to the event,let's get more people to the bar on the Friday night.

Re: Moors One Hundred 2019
Ow do
Last shout for entries folks. We need to organise the parking / camping / food next week so could do with getting a firm number to work on. I'm out doing the final recce on the new sections this weekend, so we can get the GPX files out at the end of the month. Apart from that I think we are good to go.
cheers

Re: Moors One Hundred 2019
Growler. Am a little confused about that first pic and the sign saying its a prohibited/restricted and prosecutable place... I'm noy sure I'd wanna be kumping that fence myself (am muslim and try to not even go near airports too much in case I get sent to Gitmo at Ms Mays and Sajid Javeds pleasure)...
How would I find more info on that area of the track there please

Re: Moors One Hundred 2019
Don't worry, we wont be using that section now, its just a sloppy bog and wasn't much fun on the recce. It's a well known local trail, one i've been using for years. When the RAF base was built someone forgot to remove the right of way during the period of legislation. Its not marked on an OS map anymore and the sign on the gate is scary, but there is a lengthy worded sign next to it outlining your legal right to use it . We rode right past a guard tower and as long as you don't loiter around and start looking through the fences, they are fine. Makes for a good photo though.redefined_cycles wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 10:07 am Growler.

Re: Moors One Hundred 2019
Had another pootle around some of the new sections yesterday. Really pleased with the new day two route, much better than last year I think.
We are going to close entries at midnight on wednesday so we can get the final numbers to Ginni and send out the Route files and notes to everyone on the list on Friday. So if you are going to join up it might be a good idea to do it as soon as possible.
As we have not got to the expected numbers this year (around 50 as i write this) we have not been able to secure the use of the hub at Goathland as friday camping / weekend parking. My suggestion is to use one of the campsites in Goathland instead. There is one a few hundred yards up the track from the hub, Abbots House Farm, which I'll be using. They have plenty of space available. There are a few more just outside the village that have space too. I will include all the details in an email to all riders later this week.
A few pics from yesterday.....
