Nice one. Was just searching for entry info.

Will have to stop mid night ride to enter

Rich,

Any chance of a hint in which direction the routes are heading this year?

I'm in! Typical that I've not done it before as I only had the gravel bike. Now I has the Scandal, there's a gravel bike route...
Looking forward to my ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ * second ride in the lakes.








* I once rode my lo-pro triathlon bike from Centre Parcs near Penrith, that ride didn't last long. I.e. as long as it took me to get off the A66 and encounter the first uphill section...

50% of entries have been snapped up !!!

Unless your gravel bike fits big tyres, you may be better off on the Scandal anyway. Unless you're racing of course........

Pretty much the only reason I've built up this Scandal, is to do stuff like Jennride and YD300 and what not. I really didn't fancy them on my gravel bike...

Rather depends on the route tbh over to ambleside then around langdales/Grizdale/Windermere and ferry back is very gravel friendly( actual proper lakes/mountains I would not be advising a gravel bike )

The Gravel route has been ridden and its ace 87 riders have signed up with room for 63 more!

I didn't even know the route was available yet? Should I have received an email or something?

No issues here. Downloaded gravel route to komoot and garmin. Roll on end of May.
I need to be back home Sunday afternoon so will be doing it in one go on Saturday.

There are links further up the page... I'm assuming that's what's being alluded to?

Totally missed them, sorted now... well I have the route, still need the legs to ride it but it's weeks away yet

That was fairly typical of the first few JennRides - it meant you could cut things short if time was pressing, state of party, etc. Unless you haven't ridden in the Lakes before and want to do the full route then everything is up to you really.

Anyway, looking at Rich's Strava link it seems like he had one hell of a lie in for his bivvy 13 1/2hrs moving, 102 1/2hrs overall

Elapsed time was due to a family commitment (funeral) and work i.e. I rode from Staveley to Troutbeck 17 miles then stopped the clock then rode back to Staveley on Tuesday then on Saturday after work 3pm rode from Staveley to Troutbeck then started the clock again so the whole ride was logged .

People will be getting sent an email with all the latest details gpx and stuff nearer the date

Rich

Amazing 338 riders have entered with a 181 157 spilt in favour of the mtb route 350 is the max so if you have not entered hurry up!!
Film night organised for the Friday for an hour or so, then live fiddlers and such to end the night!

has the email with details gone out yet?
