Maybe boxelder? Didn't he organise the Keilder 101?
200k! Did the Galloway Gallop this month which was 108km and that took me nearly 7 hours, though Galloway was much hillier than I thought it was going to be
I better start training now

Googling around a bit, Northern CC appears to be a certain Mr Errington.

Of its Paul, it will either be dead hard or based around cafes and pubs (here's hoping!)

I'm so doing this. Never ridden in that part of the world.
Is it 28mm gravel king or 40c nano tyre territory?

Lets also hope it doesn't clash with the Cairngorms Loop, or I'll not be there.

We officially need more weekends. Or less jobs.

Good point, although the Cairngorms Loop is the first May bank holiday weekend so should be fine.GregMay wrote:Lets also hope it doesn't clash with the Cairngorms Loop, or I'll not be there.
I'm signed up for the Dirty Reiver too - riding one of Paul's old bikes (Warbird) so it would be rude not to.

Hmm from the Cairngorm Loop website: Saturday, April 30th, 2016, so possible that the two might clash but unlikely.AlasdairMc wrote:Good point, although the Cairngorms Loop is the first May bank holiday weekend so should be fine.GregMay wrote:Lets also hope it doesn't clash with the Cairngorms Loop, or I'll not be there.

It always has been the first May Bank Holiday, looks like Steve decided to change it.
