A few of us have entered the above, but non of us have heard anything WRT the route or times etc.

Just wondering if it's looking a bit hit or miss due to the weather/storms due in and the mass of fallen trees in the lakes causing issues.

Anybody got any news or more info ?

I did the Bristol ride in January. We didn't get the route until the Thursday, 3 days before the ride.

From Alpkit:

@darwendashers Hi there, all information for gravel rides is sent out the day before the event so no need to worry 🙂
All the best, Naomi

I was planning to head up and camp for the weekend but with this weather...is it cowardly or prudent to not? I don't like giving in to weather but feels a bit foolhardy to camp in 50mph winds.

One of my mates rang them and they said they would make a final decision on Friday once they had looked at the weather
