The Gnarmac Attack – A Gravel Themed Reliability Ride in the Peak District.

Holmesfield Holmesfield Village Hall, Vicarage Close, Holmesfield

THE GNARMAC ATTACK - WHAT'S THAT THEN ? THE GNARMAC ATTACK IS AN UNSUPPORTED, UNMARSHALLED ADVENTURE ON THE QUIET ROADS, BYWAYS AND BRIDLEWAYS OF THE GLORIOUS PEAK DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK. The event is based on the reliability ride format, where the aims is to successfully complete an un-signed pre-determined route within nine hours. The event is the similar in concept to our previous events, including the Hardcore100. However this time we will be using some different trails to present you with a fresh challenge. Our idea is to get riders to think for themselves and not only test their riding skills but their ability to navigate. The 100 km route is around 30% off road on bridleways and byways. We'd recommend you use either a gravel, cyclocross or mountain bike - using a skinny tyred racing bike would probably result […]

The Distance CC – The South Lakes & Westmorland

Pavilion, Recreation Ground, Kendal Rd, Staveley, Cumbria, LA8 9LP. Pavilion, Recreation Ground, Kendal Rd, Staveley, Cumbria

What is The Distance? We are branding this event ‘Self Supported with benefits’ as it really does not conform to any current event format. The event focuses on the growing trend in rackless touring, but with a unique twist. The event is not a race but more a sociable challenge. From a single start point each rider will visit a series of checkpoints throughout the day. How they get between the checkpoints will be dependent on their rate of progress and the style of riding they choose. From ‘adventure roads’ to mountain bike trails, there are up to 3 route options at every checkpoint and your arrival time will determine which route options are open to you. Simply the faster you are the further you ultimately ride… or as we like to view it, the more sociable you are the […]
