are you driving round or something else?

Depends on how well you know the area and if you are travelling by car or motorcycle. If you are not familiar with area follow advice in programme.

Bridge end, Bypass, Roys rocks and surrender (in bypass direction) very bad for traffic last year.

Throttlejokey,

 

Get yourself to the start field at Feldom Lane near Park Top Farm early doors and soak up the atmosphere/ panic then scuttle up to Underbanks, parking in the spectator field, not on the roadside as it gets way too congested.

 

Then if you can, skip over the hill to take in Surrender, always a great spectator section, parking is however at a premium.

 

If you are real keen, see the last sections at Clapgate, that is about 1.5 miles down the hill from the start field, which is of course the finish field.

.

it really depends on where you can get parked sensibly during the day as the organisers need to allow the traffic to flow as it is a Saturday event.

 

Anyway, wherever you go you will see a great event taking place. Buy a programme its well worth it.

 

I'll be there in the morning commentating, speaking with riders before the off and again in the afternoon, but most riders at the finish are speechless with fatigue!

 

Have a great Scott! - See you there!

 

Big John

Where would the start be, a location so i can set the stat nav, and what time is the first rider away

 

Thank you

Feldom Lane Richmond - DL11 7LS

Thank you for that - first man away at 9am ?

Yes and last one away at about 10.05. If you've not been before, buy a programme and I'd recommend watching at the start and if nowhere else,Surrender which has a great atmosphere.

 

Looks like it could be a fast year, moors are pretty dry?
