The Struggle
Event info
Test your mind, challenge your mates and rip off your legs on a day out in Yorkshire that will take you into the darkest depths of bike riding.
Spanning 110 miles, 9489 ft and taking in seven of North Yorkshire’s notorious killer climbs, the Struggle makes a century ride feel like your average Sunday club run!
Dare to dig yourself out of the black hole, down that last gel and block out the lactic-acid-burn as you crest the final climb back to Harrogate to complete one utterly epic day on the bike.
The Struggle is set within North Yorkshire’s stunning scenery along the region’s best cycling roads. Whether you rock up and ride alone, or roll out in club kit - the Struggle offers a day of ‘fun’, camaraderie and bike-riding banter.
Entry will be opening soon! To ensure we send you the entry link as soon as it is live, please pre register your interest here: http://www.ridethestruggle.com/

Fair enough, personal experience may trump (not that one) theory. However, the bonking I have experienced has been due to lack of carbs. Your point...
Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.
mdavidfrodo?
in the UK we have policing which to a greater or lesser extent relies on assistance from members of the public......
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to everyone who helped out in this thread....
