Any any way give us a shout if you fancy joining me on it ., looks like I'll be hitting the peaks a fair bit .. Again ..  Oh yeah yeah one thing it's not a race so I'll be plodding up the hills and trying to get down safe the other side 23 notes to enter .. Booked in Gary Jack |

Glynns peaks ride was amongst the 3 hardest rides I have ever done so far - so the BHF one must be savage...

Nice steady pace only take us 2 hours I reckon..... As above not a race so we will just stick with the slowest member of our groups pace and have a good laugh On the ups anyway can't say I'll be hanging around on the downs |

yes i heard that, but the actual cutgate lollypop stick route is only about 15 miles i think, maybe a bit more?.that leaves plenty to go at if theres another 30 miles to do.

still dont get why they're planning on cutgate at that time of year, when its likely to cut up so badly with 500 or so riders on the same day

Disgruntled of Northumberland Well Ive sent them an email and if it does turn out that's it's using cut gate then I will pull out and send a very stiff letter of complaint and flame them all over Twitter and Facebook but let's hope as I'm looking forward to doing this one again |

Me personally i don't reckon they'll use Cutgate as it's an out and back route so it will be quite difficult to loop into, then you have the end bit at Cranberry clough that's very narrow and steep, plus it's very boggy on the tops, this picture was March 2015.  |

snow rain hail hmm so I've booked in for the 80 k one wits that about 48 miles
