    Fair enough, I just seem to remember being told that it had closed a while ago??, unless it was for a refurb(?), or temporary closure 'out of season'???

    Pricewise, it's about comparable to the Redbeck on Doncaster Road/A638, as you head out of Wakefield then

    A bit cheaper @ 'Squires', where I call for a cup of tea after being out riding towards Selby/Vale of York/etc...

    Run past the Hassop book shop cafe every day to work and its defo open though there are tons of cheaper places to eat in Bakewell, Calver Crossroads cafe, Hathersage, depends which way you are driving away from the event. Did 19 miles of it the other day, phew thats tough on one bottle of water and nowt to eat, I was so hungry ran off course to get some grub at Calver fuel station walked in and ate a couple of nakd bars in front of the girl on the till looking like a mad man before I paid!!! Poor kid I think I scared her she was a youngster still at school. Apologised and paid and staggered back out!!!! Roll on the 9th of March hope the weather is good, looking like it will be wet next week now possibly a bit of white stuff. There was a bitter wind on Longstone Edge on Sunday.

    I'm on the waiting list. There is no indication of how long the waiting list is. How likely is it that I will get to race?

    when did you go onto the waiting list?
    entries opened back in mid-November and it filled up within a couple of days
    so I imagine the waiting list could be pretty long

    great race and sneakily demanding in places! a great mix of terrain with some great views coming into Chatsworth and along the edges at the end. I would definately recommend it
