The race is in July and whilst nothing is a ‘gimme’ with regard our weather generally and indeed in the Colne Valley, you should be prepared in case of a warm day. We have a drinks station available at around 2k and you will visit this again at 6k unless you have taken a very wrong turn! If you need to ensure that you take on water in the event of extreme temperature.
