We caught up with @a_girl_outside again today as she had spent last night and this morning getting to Arnside and then riding the 8km to Austwick. We caught her in @Elainestearoomsatfeizor eating a late lunch! Now heading off towards Malham and Bolton Abbey she’s in the middle of probably the toughest part of the course. It’s cool and damp with light rain but she’s still smiling! Go Annie!!!
She’s raising awarenes and money for @doctorswithoutborders a fantastic cause as part of @ultracyclistsforpalestine Give them a shout, look at their site and send them a donation.

The @dalesdivide is an event that is close to the hearts of Restrap. The route passes through our home trails and many of the team have toed the line year after year. It is well and truly cemented as one of the classic UK bikepacking events.
Last year, we wanted to give something back and hosted the 🍜 Rest and Ramen Bothy 🍜, providing riders with a steaming bowl of noodles on the return leg of their back and forth between the West and East coast. Food, brews, hugs and high-5s were served up to riders, whether they arrived at midday or midnight.
Our little noodle stop was so popular, we simply had to return for 2026. We are so excited to announce that Restrap and the Dales Divide are teaming up again, and we'll be back serving up Yorkshire Tea and the Pennines' best ramen.
We can't wait to see all the riders up on the moor.

Congratulations to @dicky_hibbert who completed a winter ITT on the #nw400 in a super quick time to take the lead in the inaugural UK bikepacking triple crown. Particularly impressive given that this is the first known winter completion of the #nw400. The triple crown is awarded to the fastest finisher of the #ht550 #dalesdivide and #nw400 in a calendar year. What will 2026 bring? Who will be the first female finisher? Is sub 6 days possible? Can't wait to follow the dots #dotwatcher #bikepacking
How not to race 600km 👆🏼
@dalesdivide is an amazing event, I’d strongly recommend it to anyone that wants to try someone difficult. Just don’t do what I did…
