Will go live shortly. Should give some ideas of where we are at (well where I am at - a fairly mid pack rider).

Weather looking pretty okay, though the wind is stern.

Good luck to you all.

I'll be watching this tracking page

Roughly when will riders be passing through Stanhope up to Kielder? Might have a ride out.

When I was looking at the route I guessed tomorrow breakfast time, 9-10am ish (depends when people decide to leave the hall in the morning, I suppose some might even not sleep the first night). Suggested control is Co-op or Everyday cafe

ETA: Ah - just read your post properly - not sure what type it is. He seems to making the most of the taily at the moment. Vroom!

Hasn't moved for a while.

Looks like they're getting a mauling from the weather at the moment.

Shame the NYMs leg isn't today - it's a cracking day here!

90 riders started the inaugural Mille Pennines 1000 from Bispham at 10:00 am this morning.

Marcus out on western edge of Cumbria at moment. Heading back east to Hardknott?

veloboy · « **Reply #487 on:** 01 July, 2016, 06:46:40 pm »

On the way to Seascale I suspect!
It's great to see the live tracker - just checking it now and again!

Or perhaps he'll have a paddle and top-up his tan on the beach? Maybe a sunset barbie?

Of course he is...

The weather was cruel over Dunmail Raise this aft. First half of the field were fine, but the rain came on and gradually increased for the rest. A few pics:

A cheerful Deano (is there any other kind?) at Sandside, earlier:

Sandside again:

Airnimal rider, Dunmail summit:

Deano, still cheerful, and clubmate, on Dunmail, climbing out from Grasmere:

Weather closing in, Dunmail:

Then it all got a bit

Chris S · « **Reply #491 on:** 01 July, 2016, 07:38:43 pm »

Good work! If I manage to catch them in the North York Moors on Sunday, here's hoping they look as cheerful

Great Pics billplumtree!

Wish I was there - the weather looks better than the forecast!

Dave_C · « **Reply #493 on:** 01 July, 2016, 08:05:24 pm »

I think the Airnimal rider is Adam from Hackney Cycling club.

Slow moving heavy showers with brightness between here in The Lakes this evening. Quite blustery, but calming significantly now - and after Seascale predominantly tail wind I should think. It's a pretty bleak ride Kendal/Sedbergh/Hawes so hopefully not too many have done/are doing that in the heavy rain.

Cheers. I might have a ride up to Parkhead with my camera for about 8-ish.

Wasn't going well and am now in an hotel.

Thought I was going to get up Hardknott until cramp set in about 2/3 of the way up. Didn't think the rain over the climb to Keswick was that bad. There was another shower that hit when I was in the Whinlatter control. Waited it out which put me behind a bit.

Plide back to the start tomorrow to get the car, then head up to Askrigg to collect my drop bag.

Not got enough training in the last several weeks due to Real Life and it's caught up with me. Also my knee was getting sore and with 800km to go and having committed to rowing in Llandaff Regatta next weekend, feeling sick, and with a room available in a guest house, it was an easy decision.

And the correct one. Good luck with your recovery, Simon.
