Re: Yorkshire Dales 300 - 2017
Booked, gulp. This will be the longest ride I've ever done, BB200 is the closest...
Re: Yorkshire Dales 300 - 2017
I'm in. A few weeks to recover after the HT550 should be enough. Right?

I'm in again.
Don't worry Rich, no real hike-a-bike like on the BB200, one short really technical section about 300m long, a lot of up and down though

Will a 2017 Genesis Fortitude be suited? 650b+ but rolls fairly fast.

Oooooh, that looks good. I need to plan my calendar!

I have unfinished business with this after my ride ending crash last year. Very tempted to return but it's at a really bad time for me due to other plans.
Hmm... definitely needs considering.

However we also need to beat Braunton and Jim wants to help us with that one.

I'm doing it again too
Going to make a few changes to set up and see if I can improve my time.

I'm entered obviously, so shall be enjoying the cracking route last year that I didn't get to ride.

Re: Yorkshire Dales 300 - 2017
Entered.
A blank calendar for 2017 was starting to annoy me. This should give me something to aim for/motivation.

Looks like I'm doing this. I may have to bring "The Overcompensator".
I'm regretting it already. lol
