THE NORTH RACE — A Cycling Film By Restrap
How far north can you ride in 24 hours?
Restrap ambassador Josh Reid takes on the challenge to see how far north he can ride from Restrap HQ by latitude. This is The North Race.
A balancing act between careful route planning and self sufficiency, Josh planned his route through the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria, Edinburgh and beyond with the aim of getting close to Aberdeen. You can find his route here: www.komoot.com/tour/1521954200
-
We invite you to plan and execute a time-trial as far north (by latitude) as you can within 24 hours starting from the Restrap factory in Leeds. Balance marginal gains, comfort over distance, route-planning and minimal stop time to push yourself as far as possible within the timeframe.
This challenge is open to anyone, costs nothing to enter and the rules are simple.

    Sounds like a good challenge, regardless of start point. With Leeds just under 400km from my house, my North race will pretty much end at your factory door. If i make it in 24 hours (brief Google check says 22 hours cycling), can i at least get a sticker? Extra context, I'm 54, overweight, and last years London to Brighton is the furthest I've ever ridden!

    Got mine last week. As a broader chest/backed chap I appreciate the sizing and adjustment, it doesn’t feel or look like a bra 😂 Had a DJI mini, controller and spare batteries in the main compartment fit nicely and no bounce. Question the phone pocket having a key strap/loop in it, will probably cut that out. If you cinch the load lifters down the the pull loops have a tendency to hit your head/helmet when you look left or right. 10/10 though, points are just personal nit picking.

      As a valuables pocket over a phone pocket, it just totally depends on your usage! You might rather have keys and money in there and your phone somewhere else. We wanted it to fit phones because that will be the likely use for most.

    I would like to buy one of these frame bags but I’m unsure whether I should get the 1.5l or 2l, because of size. Is the 49cm length provided on the website for the 2l version referring to the total length of the bag(straps included) or the length of the bottom panel of the bag itself? I have a canyon grizl cf sl 8 in size small.
