SPOT PRIZES!
A massive thank you to our brand partners who have offered to supply spot prizes for ‘Not All Points North’ 2020.
Bike check: our Hannah spannersaurus completed the mighty allpointsnorth.cc #APN21 event a couple of weeks back, and absolutely smashed her first ultra, despite the fact she was still prepping other people's bikes for photos right up to the day before she set off 😜 💪🤟
Here's her custom (/prototype?!) Fallen Gravel bike.
- 650b x 47 Panaracer Gravel Kings (was she over-tyred? Yeah, she definitely was 😜)
- VO guards
- GRX810 2x
- Terry saddle (she's tried everything...)
- Integrated SON dynamo lighting front and rear, and device charging by Sinewave
- Custom stainless Fallen front rack with mounting points for light and handlebar bag strap, 170g 🦄
Hannah's review?
"So many feelings to get into a sentence! It was the hardest ride I've ever done, and the most diverse in terrain, relief and personal experience. The bike didn't miss a beat. Fast flats, steep climbs, off-road shortcuts - all no problem. It was a major relief that of all the challenges I had on the ride, my bike was not one I had to think about. This one's a keeper! ❤️"
Big up your bad self Hannah 💪🙌

These two lovelies will be on their way to our #apn21 rider prize winners @han_lar and @liambromiley.
A huge thank you to @exposure.lights for supporting us and donating these two top lights as prizes.

No matter which side I’ve climbed this hill from, the weather has always been a bit miserable. #apn21 #allpointsnorth #rideupnorth #colddarknorth #ridefar #apn21rider12 #cycling #vegancyclist

Even though I had two years waiting for #apn21 I still found myself getting ready in the last week. I needed to plot a route between the points and then follow it as fast as I could (I’m still asking what makes the best route?). There were of course lots of challenges, I did make a schedule that I only vaguely followed for the first 24hrs (if that) - I wonder about setting expectations for myself and how is it I think I’ll know what to expect( based on similar events? - there was nothing similar to this). I spent lots of time trying to understand where the boundaries between mental and physical obstacles lie. I found myself hurting but knew that I was capable of more, was it the really pain or in my head ( probably I was just hungry)? I had technical issues, charging cables coming unplugged and then even suffered slight dehydration. I stopped at a number of places that advertised food but couldn’t provide it. On the plus side, I had a great adventure, saw lots of new places( missed some in the dark), got very excited when I occasionally saw other participants, and pushed my limits. Apart from a bit of numbness in my hands I seem to have got through unscathed. Thanks to all the volunteers and dot-watchers who always make it so special.

Reflections on #APN21🌊
.
Currently writing up my experience at this year's All Points North, and after finally getting some decent kip and getting back to being myself a few thoughts keep on cropping up. I keep getting asked about 'winning' the event, which is what I set out to do, but now it's happened it seems hollow in a way. I feel an event like this is an exhibition or an expression of who I am and it just reflects my headspace, training and discipline going into the event, which is where I find the real value. If I'd have come second I would have learnt the same lessons, had the same experience and gone through the same preparation leading up to it, so the only difference would be the result. I feel I'm just getting started and getting caught up in 'winning' something would hinder my growth. As soon as you think you've arrived or 'made it', you put a limit on what you're capable of, and really there is always more to learn and more space to grow🌱

Reflecting on two pairs races in quick succession, what are the pros and cons versus a solo race?
Another chapter in my blog. The link is in my bio. #transiberica2021 #apn21
Feeling slightly more human after a weekend of relaxing that has also given we time to see what I managed to capture from the backseat on the action camera!
Still working on my filming skills but our All Points North film is now up on YouTube on our SteLa Tandem channel!! 🎥🎞
It's been great to watch it back- amazing how much slips the mind already, but just goes to show how much went on!
🚴♂️🚴♀️💨🏔

The Lake District on All Points North last weekend. It was a quick visit past Windermere to Honister Pass and back through Kendal. Still a stunning place to ride if you like double digit gradients. #apn21 #allpointsnorth #everydaycyclist #apn21rider12 #vegancyclist #colddarknorth #rideupnorth
Our ultra endurance specialist han_lar took on the self-supported All Points North Ultra endurance ride. Setting off from Sheffield, Hannah and partner Liam took the top spot of the pairs leaderboard completing the ride in 55 hours and 44 minutes riding a whopping 920.9km. Seriously impressive ride. Go to Hannah's IG to read all about it and see some more pictures

After 991km, 13400m of climbing and 72hours 41 mins of riding I finally finished back up in Sheffield, having completed All Points North 21.
My phone died on route so no photos to share sadly, but there's a blog over on my website (feelfitwithlucy.co.uk/blog) if you're interested. #APN21 #APN21rider42
Completed #APN21 in 69 hours and 56 minutes covering 958km and 13,158m of altitude.
.
The first 400km went pretty well. I was buzzing, fueling regularly and comfortably pedaled through the night to witness a beautiful sunrise. The weather was good too. Once I hit 500km though, and 26 hours in the saddle I started to flag. I tried to grab an hours sleep on the roadside but for some reason couldn’t sleep (!?). I got back on the bike feeling like I’d just wasted an hour and cycled to the 5th checkpoint in the dark and it started to rain. I fell asleep under a tree but woke up soaking wet so moved on to a bus shelter to grab a few more hours sleep. The next 200km were the toughest in what felt like constant climbing across the Yorkshire Dales. I then took a stupid shortcut up a 25% gravel track and got a puncture which took an hour to sort and I had to then turn back (demoralizing). I grabbed another few hours sleep at around 700km and got back on the bike at 1am feeing tired but physically up for it. I ticked off the last 3 checkpoints and tried to smash the last 100km on the flat back to Sheffield but I had developed tendinitis in my Achilles and my saddle sores were raging and bloody after losing my chamois cream around km 650. I could not get comfortable but still managed to limp back to the great team at a.different.gear who fed and watered me and the shower made me feel 100x better.
.
I am pretty happy with the outcome for my first long distance bike race. At times I was asking myself “why the hell am I doing this?” But the low points come and go just as fast and I look back on the ride fondly. I’m not sure what I enjoy so much about being on the bike. I just love it and it was great being surrounded by so many people who feel the same. Thanks to the allpointsnorth.cc team for organizing such an enjoyable event and congratulations to everyone that took part. I’ll be back next year.

All Points North 2021
Aims:
🔹Finish 🏁 ☑️
🔹See more of the North ☑️ (photo descriptions below)
Fears:
🔹Technological break down 🤦🏼♀️☑️
🔹Getting too cold 😁 ❎
I entered allpointsnorth.cc as a rookie on all accounts, but not in the rookie category which made me quite nervous to not have the extra time. It was my first delve into the ultra-distance scene. Up until then the most I had cycled in one go had been 400km once on flat terrain and 200km a few times. I didn't have areo bars on my bike like many others and I felt under prepared and nervous. But what I did have was faith in my ability and hardiness.
I really wanted to arrive by the end of Tuesday but had no idea if I could. But I did by a whisker, finishing alongside much more experienced distance cyclists, something I should be really proud of. I achieved my aims of finishing and seeing the beautiful North, possibly stopping for a few too many 📸 along the way…leading to extra faff. Cycling through the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District NP, over the North Penines (a killer), through Northumberland NP and North York Moors.
But I also experienced my biggest fear of technological breakdown half way through the race and thought I would have to scratch. But with guidance from a friend and a good pep talk to myself I managed to carry on, eventually fix the GPS and make it to the finish line.
I feel very lucky to have had such good weather for my first ultra distance event 😅. Thank you weather gods 🙏.
I learned so much which I may 📝 at some point, still reflecting on it. The hallucinations though with every tree turning into a person was...an experience 👀. And also realising that I never felt alone as I considered my GPS as company. Even talking to myself describing us as we...I guess this included my bike as well 🤷🏼♀️
Anyways see you in 2022 allpointsnorth.cc. What a pleasure!

Finally managing to get things together after the epic #APN21
Still in a bit of a whirlwind of recovery: peaks and troughs and feeling rather surreal while trying to reintegrate to the "real world" (or is it? Definitely felt very real on the road...)
We've started to anylse the ride in retrospect, where we did well, where things could have gone better, the highs, the lows but so much seems to be slipping our memories already, even after this short space of time. It's hard to put into word how much we saw and experienced I'm those short and long 79.5hours.
Hopefully a full account in the form of a blog and the footage from the go pro will be sorted soon to give another perspective and its great to see other riders photos and accounts of the ride: all so similar, yet different...
allpointsnorth.cc has put together this intriguing map of the different routes taken and it makes a great visual summary of the extent of the event.
But for now another shift at work before finally a weekend's rest!

A delayed completion of my ‘All Points North 2021’ 🚲 ride yesterday, with a ride from my home in Otley to a.different.gear in Sheffield.
I think two nights in my own bed between my final checkpoint & the finish doesn’t quite comply with the event’s ‘unsupported’ rules 😉
…nonetheless, a great (if extremely tough) journey across some of the North of England’s finest scenery
#APN21 #allpointsnorth #rideupnorth. #APN21rider60
And the ride has come to an end, circa 1000km completed 🚴 10 controls around the North of England and I think I hit every national park up here too!
A big thank you for everyone's support and to the organisers. Such a fantastic event.
#APN21 #APNRider41 #RIDEUPNORTH
Well folks, that’s a wrap.
All of our #APN21 riders are now home.
So here are some stats:
Of our 80 entrants, 68 turned up to ride last Saturday. 17 of those were Rookies and there were 5 pairs.
In total, 45 riders finished - 26 solo riders, 3 pairs (including our tandem) and 13 Rookies (only 4 Rookies scratched, how awesome is that?).
As the map illustrates, there were many route variations and each of those lines has a story to tell. We’d love to hear about them all so if you’re writing up a ride report please share it with us. We will collate them all and share links and photos on a page on our website.
Next year, pandemics permitting, we’ll be moving #APN22 back to our original date of the last May bank holiday. Entries will open in late November.

Some 3 months ago I was very surprised to get an email saying my application for #APN21 had been accepted. I needed help! Luckily I chose https://www.highnorth.co.uk/ to coach me. I am sure without their programme, advice and encouragement I would not have enjoyed APN21 so much or even finished. A big thank you.
A few pictures of skies and random controls from #apn21, an amazing event mostly due to the people involved, the riders, the organisers and the volunteers.
1000km, 13000m+ elevation, 61 hours and 51 minutes. Minimal sleep, maximum hallucinations, questionable diet.
There's a link to a long writeup of a long ride in the bio for any #cycling nerds who want to read meandering thoughts on the inner space of a long distance cyclist.
Thanks so much to everyone who cheered, waved and chatted out on he roads, to the allpointsnorth.cc team for being so lovely and making the event such a joy.

Day 3 and riding back to the finish, glorious sunrise on the coast which just got better crossing the north York moors, got pretty hot in the afternoon when riding across the flatlands around the Humber 🥵 not helped by hitting Doncaster at rush hour 🚗🚙. Heartwarming welcome at the finish rounded out a great adventure. Maybe next year? Who knows #apn21 #ridethenorth #apn21rider28
Day 2 of All Points North #apn21 , early start after a transformational nights sleep in a proper bed , checkpoint before daybreak and then kept heading north, detoured round the MoD firing range 💥 and then headed out of the wilderness into the hustle and bustle of Newcastle to Middlesbrough. A day of two halves! #apn21rider28
