You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
The third year we have pulled together for a weekend of fun and a suggested 100 mile route across the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors, it's split over 2 days with a suggested night stop at the amazing High Paradise Farm just outside Boltby
This gives a central point for the evening and an opportunity for some great food and beer, this year we've got Alpkit on board so an ideal opportunity to check out there bikes and clothing range, listen to chilled out music and sample an craft beer or two
It's a non profit event, pulled together by people who love the area and just want people to enjoy themselves ~ there is a £30 charge for the overnight stop but this gives you evening food, a beer and breakfast roll, safe in the knowledge you have somewhere safe for the night
Get yourselves along, what have you got to lose
oh!
Just entered 🙂 .. double booked last year so didnt ride 🙁
Do you have to carry all your sleeping equipment?
Entered.
I've been looking forward to this since finishing last year's.. was a great weekend
Just booked it! Cheers.
Such a great event, challenging riding,
Pizzas to die for and beer from the gods.
Can't wait.
Couldn’t make it this year, just thinking about it currently for next year
Really tempted by this as an intro into bikepacking plus it’s close to home.
Is the route really technical?
No issues with the distance, it’s my lack of skill that’s the problem.
Normally Mrs Foo considers biking and camping mutually exclusive but she's interested in this event (having serenaded her with tales of True Grit) where does it actually start from? I know the overnight is High Paradise Farm I assume it starts some way from there.
Generally it’s not too technical, but considering that around 98 of the 104 miles are off road, there will be the odd short snippet, but nothing really springs to mind.
I had it in mind that most, if not all will be on bikes laden with bags, so while there isn’t any gnar to be had, I didn’t want a gravel bike snooze fest either. If you have the legs, you’ll have no problems and really enjoy it.
The route starts from Goathland. There is no set start time or start point. Folk just kinda gather around the village and set off in drips and drabs. Plenty of options for camping/parking/eating and drinking there too.
Well that’s me signed up...my first ever cycling event too.
Guess I’d better get a bike sorted 😁
Can anyone answer my question please? I quite fancy the look of it but cba carrying tent and gubbins. Can I arrange with the organisers for my stuff to be transported there and back so I can ride with just a camelbak?
Thanks
Jekkyl, not really an option I;m afraid, however there are a limited number of rooms available on site, obviously this would be at an additional cost but could be an option if you want to travel light
Booked!! 😁😁
Mtb or gravel bike? Thanks
You could do it on either. One bloke turned up on a CX bike with slicks on last year, Lois came on her Rocket with 170mm forks and Magic Marys. Both were fine.
You would probably enjoy it more on a short travel hardtail though or something with plus size tyres.
I’d have to turn up in my van. Is parking good with the locals or handy fields available to pay and park on for few days?
Plenty of options in Goathland. Most people stayed on Abbotts House Farm on the friday night and paid an extra fiver to park there all weekend. I'll be getting in touch with them soon when i get an idea on numbers, and will put something up on the website in due course.
Inn on the Moor pub has become a sort of unofficial event HQ over the last few years and thats where many end up too.
Its all very loose. But hey, it kinda works out just fine. No sweat.
Thanks sounds good to me. See you then.
In 🙂
Ah I’d love to get involved with this event but it’s JUST before a 9 day U.K. road thing I’m doing so might be a bit ambitious on the schedule 🙁
