Good folks of yacf, I'd like to invite you all to either of my offroad audaxes from Newby Wiske on Saturday 28/04/18.
You read that right - as if one brevet unpopulaire wasn't enough, there are now two brevets unpopulaire.
Don't Keep to the Road is 100-anna-bit kms, with the usual mix of bastard hills, offroad climbs and descents, abandoned railways, hidden valleys, forestry trails and pubs. But one less pub this year as I've decided the control at Hawnby isn't required. You can still stop there for a pint, of course.
Moor Gravel Forever is the same loop, but with an extra loop farther into the Moors making it up to 100 miles. More gravel. More hills. A lovely cafe in Lealholm.
There's free camping* and food at the start and finish, and an all-night after-ride party. I think we eventually went to bed at 4 am last year - with the 300 on the same day, I'm hoping riders on the 150 will be finishing at around the same time as riders on the 300. It'll be a great atmosphere - it was last year.
Both events have a minimum speed of 10 kph.

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/24209276* It really is free, but I'll almost certainly wave a charity tin in the direction of anyone camping, cos the start/finish is my mate's farm, and all proceeds from the ride will go to a charity of his choice. No obligation though.
