Partly as a way to rejuvenate my riding over the coming year and partly for the hell of it i’d like to propose 2 group starts for next year:
1) Lakeland Loop 200 - probably some time in June. I’d like to have a go at an ITT anyway and it’d be good to be part of some group suffering.
2) Dartmoor 200(km) - in September as a BB200 preamble. Route yet to be finalised but expect a mix of open moorland, technical rocky sections, bog, nasty giant stepping stones, lots of climbing, HAB, existential crises!
Anyone interested in joining me?
I’ll post in ‘anyone playing out’ in due course.
New group starts for 2020

Lakeland 200 is on my radar, probably as an ITT. Unlikely to be June as there is just so much on around then. It would likely be much earlier for me.

PostieRich has had a group start on the Lakeland 200 as part of the JennRide weekend, not sure if there were any takers this year.

Didn’t know he did that. I’ve not seen one advertised previously.
I’m not expecting anything much in terms of what i’m doing, just advertising rides i’m Doing and inviting folks along.

Re: New group starts for 2020
Dartmoor will certainly provide plenty of BB200 like challenges!
The hills may not be as big as Wales, but there are many. Much bog, many tussocks, and lots of suffering available...
