Pit Ponies 100 km from Darlo - now Sunday 17/12/23

*** Postponed to Sunday 17th December 2023 ***



I'm getting a few entries for this day out on the rail trails, but there's space for a few more before I order cards.

We've got the Hart-Haswell line, the Castle Eden Way and Genesis, as the route finishes along the old Darlington to Stockton railway. Plus the usable cyclepath alongside the A66, the really lovely cyclepath between Hartburn and Eaglescliffe and a few other bits to make it a decent day out with lots of traffic-free sections and plenty of hounds. There is an urban bit through Hartlepool, but that's just MSeries bait, and I like riding past Victoria Park*,

This year's route is here (same as last year, pending final checks): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38059170

I've booked the hall again for the start and finish, with food on the go. You can enter here: https://www.audax.uk/event-details/10599-pit_ponies

*even if it's laughably know as Suits Direct Stadium nowadays.

Nice event and great hospitality - entry sent.

See you there, Dave.

PS I hope you all bring mudguards - not just cos the tracks can get a bit sloppy this time of year, but I have a large number of mudguard stickers to offload

I probably won't ride but Mr Smith probably will.
Shout if you need assistance.

PTSD from the Seal Sands road?

I'll be in touch, I need some help at the finish.

Gutted I can't make it this year. Hope you get a good turn out!
