The problem they have is that in the area there simply isn't an alternate route so a hotel that you can't get to or leave during the event is one you're not going to stay at! Thus the hotel could loose people booking for a week simply because they can't get out, and these hotels have a short season to make most of their year's income.

UK, surely? <br /> We usually eat at Harry's Bar just across from the pub that makes Bluebird. A pint is a good source of calories for burning the next day. Just the NW? UK, surely?

That has to be one of the best ( read 'Hardest' ) rides in the NW. But, I'm sure the lads at Biketreks will look after you. Look forward a pint of Bluebird at the end. :-) Congratulations!
