Anyone seen or done this or similar before ?

Quite fancy it, especially if anyone would like to share/offer etc transport to n from Lancashire for the event ?

Have a look at Gregs gROVL

Road half of it yesterday (until my gps packed in). Nice route on similar trails and should easily be doable starting closer to home?

Spend the cash on pies and a pint for Greg?

Thanks, that looks great, would probably do it as 2 days and bivi somewhere [100k is probably a bit long, I like to take it easy n chill, visit cafes, take pics and just enjoy the ride. Ok, I'm also slow and I know its hilly over that way]

Btw, where is the calendar I have seen referenced a few times on here ?

Wow..what a day in the saddle..60 miles over north Yorkshire moors in wind , rain ,fog and mud,,,,lots of gritty mud..managed it in 7hrs 57mins after 1 pinch flat, 1 dodgy valve, 2 stops to adjust brakes as grit eating them alive...lol.
Really enjoyed it once I finished,not so much doing it.....note to self ' lose weight ,need stronger legs'
