I’d say it’s a decent challenge but if you’re used to riding that distance on the road then less so.
The route changes slightly each year but it’s normally all on forestry tracks, so you could ride it whenever you like. Kielder is a pretty good place to stay if you want to go and ride gravel. There is a great campsite and loads of holiday cottages around. Been meaning to organise a summer trip there with friends.
Is it both fun and hard at the same time, or is one of those routes where it alternates between the two? I like the idea of it. Also could it be done on a non-event day? ie do they close roads or anything?
