How early does registration open? I'm riding in so I'm planning on registering and finding a cafe for breakfast.

I would guess about 08:00 because it always seems packed after 08:30.
I certainly wouldn't fancy eating breakfast less than an hour before riding up the Heptonstall Road, for fear of barfing it up over the village's cobbled streets!

Forecast is warm but a possibility of being wet too, but at 16 deg cel I'm not too worried.

Can't decide which bike to use, heavy and comfortable, or light and not quite as comfortable.
They usually provide a bit of brecky at registration, tea and toast, not sure they will run to a full English though :P

I don't know if any cafes are open that early on a Sunday in HB ... In fact, Shaun, didn't we have that problem when you came over a couple of months ago? I'm sure that it was about 10:00 or 10:30 when the first cafe opened.
You might stand a better chance in Todmorden on the ride here.

Ginas cabin at the market on Burnley Rd in Tod will be open for sure.

Do you know what time will she be open?Ginas cabin at the market on Burnley Rd in Tod will be open for sure.
Bromptonfb...I'm not sure about Gina's cafe as I don't know of it but The White Hart (Wetherspoons), station approach, Todmorden opens at 8 am Mon - Sun according to their website. You can have breakfast there and it's good value and quick. Porridge, toast and marmalade etc - from personal experience (tough I've not eaten there before 10 am) it's served very quickly by efficient friendly staff. Colin has a good point though. It might be a bit too late to comfortably tackle the hill to Heptonstall within under an hour from having eaten. Although riding from Tod to Hebden for the flattish few miles should be a bit easier on the stomach. Might be worth rining them tonight and asking if you got there at 8 am on the dot how quick could they serve up a breakfast?

I may be a bit slow, but why not just have a breakfast at home before you set off?

Too early and it's a long time from home to the 1st cafe stop. I may have something at home and make an unofficial stop on route.
