Dales Divide Mini Recce

Post by Hyppy »

I know some of you are riding in the Dales Divide group start. I'm not, but I did ride the first ~45km and last ~50km of it on Sunday so thought I'd report back: It's filthy!

If you know the route, there's a fair bit of road, but where there could be mud there was mud, and the forecast doesn't look as though anything's gonna have the chance to dry out between now and the start. I had Mezcals on and had I been riding properly would have regretted it. Warton Crag was sketchy AF, and the little track up to Masongill near-unridable due to lack of grip.

Anyway, tyres with some bite, mudguards, and a rag or brush to clean your drivetrain are recommended. Enjoy!
