I'll be there

Thanks JB
I didn't see your name down on the riders list
These events always seem to be on when I'm on call but reckon I'll go anyway
Only trouble is, I've read the spectator guide and still haven't a clue where to go (van or bike ) & Google is useless at finding these little locations
Give us a clue

Is that bloke in the yellow hat an uncle? There appears to be a vague resemblence...

Aim for Reeth, sections are less than 5 miles in any direction from there, use the spectator guide in conjunction with the map, sections are numbered on the prose and the map

Basically it's a 360 degree rotation of the village

It`s just my cautious opinion, but if you are on call, getting about in a car/van can be a nightmare as the single track roads were never intended for the amount of spectator traffic.

Thank You for the advice - only need a phone signal (although that area does have dead zones).
Just need somewhere easy to park a bike & walk a few yards

All free bollocks, the idea is you buy a programme for all the good causes, go for a pint to the CB, have something to eat at the same time, enjoy the day. and if the weather and daylight permits do some green lanes on the way home.

Did all that last year

Yep, as you say officials do ask for donations for the charities that Richmond MCC support, like Air Ambulance and Fell Rescue

We had lunch at Dales Bike Barn

See you up there Chris

As usual, it looks like rain.

It may dry up by mid-day

The rain will certainly add to the fun for the riders

Fun, slog more like

If you don't get home within an allotted time of the first rider home (I think 60 mins) then you're excluded whether you finish it or not

Probably the world's toughest 1 day Trial

Fog and rain to start the day.

Pull

Great registration (and some free advertising)

A few pics, once the weather had brightened up and the sun came out

Tough Trial today, noticeably more so than last year

Whaw Bridge
















Reels Head, with the whole Swaledale as a backdrop, very tough this year as the rocks were slippy





Emma Bristow - Ladies Champion







Last man - veteran Phil Alderson sporting no. 200
