Fails notability. This event has been covered in a blog post on the Guardian website [1] and some cycling blog posts[2] but it lacks the sustained, in depth coverage required by the notability criteria. The kind of annual events that typically have Wikipedia articles about them draw tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of participants. This event drew only 400 in 2010.

I had checked Google News, ProQuest and General OneFile, and didn't find significant news coverage. I'd forgotten that I just got a Questia login yesterday, and found significant coverage there. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:49, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
