A REAL BLAST FROM THE PAST, AGAIN -
THE NEW 'COAST
TO COAST CHALLENGE' RUN 2023 -
Many of you out there will still fondly recall the heady days of The BTBC National
Coast to Coast Rally Challenge, when up to, and over 70 Bigtrailbikes would
descend on Flamborough Head Light House to compete in this very special Biktrailbike
navigation rally. Some of you may even still have the T-shirts or trophies from
one or more of the years this remarkable event ran (Make sure you bring them
for the C2C Run)! So, in memory of this truly wonderful event, again!, we once
more give you the all new, 'Coast to Coast Challenge' Run 2023. This run will
build on 2021/22 and take in many of the very best roads and lanes the event
covered over the years, all in the true spirit of the event itself, while traveling
from sea to shining sea across this stunning part of the country. A real 'Old
School' Bigtrailbike run, including all the very best roads and lanes that formed
part of this spectacular challenge. All wrapped up in a fantastic weekend away
on the bike with like minded people. The trip will include 3 days of riding
the best and most obscure roads and lanes from the coast to coast rally (don't
worry, you won't have to worry about navigation!), along with two nights hotel
accommodation in stunning locations on a B&B basis. All you have to do is
reserve your place, service your bike, then find your way to the start and home
from the finish, what could be easier or more enjoyable? Definitely not a trip
to miss in 2023.
Those who can, will meet up Friday, just before lunchtime in a central location, to hopefully give everyone the chance to join in from anywhere in the UK and to give us all a little more time to take in the many great routes these areas have to offer. Due to the location of our hotels and the demanding and obscure route, this trip will be strictly limited on numbers and it is very late up due to the lack of digs this year, so please book in as soon possible to avoid disappointment. If any single rooms are available, they will be offered at extra cost to early bookers from the top of the 'Who's Going' list down until they are gone.

Day 1 - Friday 15th September. New Meeting Place, near the fuel pumps, after the Costa, at Moto Wetherby Services J46, A1(M), where it crosses the A69. Follow the Fuel signs for cars as you enter and fuel up as you arrive please.@10.45 (earlier if you want a coffee) for an 11:00am departure. (LS22 5GT). The afternoon sees us pass through the Yorkshire flats, then up into the breathtaking North York Moors on a very interesting and complicated route visiting some old favorites and the east coast before heading back inland to eventually arrive at our lobely hotel around 17:30. Then it will be time for a good BTB social, good food and maybe even a wee drink, before bed.
Day 2 - Saturday 16th September. After a good early breakfast, we will all set off on our second wonderful and complicated C2C section. Again using many of the classic C2C B roads and lesser, we will head west, leaving the North York Moors behind, taking in some more fondly memorable surprises, before heading across the dramatic Yorkshire Dales on our classic C2C route, heading on into the Lake District. After what will no doubt be a fantastic day of classic BTB C2C roads and lanes, we will eventually arrive around 6pm at our second Hotel overlooking the sea on the West Coast of England, for yet another night of C2C stories, food and maybe another wee drink before hitting the sack.
Day 3 - Sunday 17th September. After another good breakfast, we will turn our rear wheel to the west coast and head back east through the Lake district and on into the Yorkshire Dales for another morning of fun and C2C memories. Yet more fantastic classic BTB C2C roads and lanes before finishing around lunch time close to our starting point on the Friday, within easy reach of the A1/M1/M62, giving all plenty of time to make it home at a reasonable hour, wherever home might be.
In the past, this event has been one of the highlights of the BTBC calendar. The roads and lanes we will use are amongst the very best, if not the best, in the country, with very little traffic. So, don't be disappointed or disappointing. Get your name down for what will be a truly memorable weekend of BTB C2C fun. Limited numbers due to the location, digs and a very complex route.
THIS TRIP IS LATE UP DUE TO THE SHORTAGE OF DIGS, SO WILL CLOSE QUITE SOON! BOOK IN NOW AND GRAB YOUR PLACE.
