Info for Riders

There are three routes, Long (51 miles), Short (26 miles) and Taster (6 miles). Both long and short routes are challenging without being leg breaking! The taster route is new and available to riders aged 12 and above (juniors must be accompanied by an adult). Reg started cycling in the 1930s with CTC Bury Group and would undoubtedly have ridden the roads included in this sportive. The first 10 miles of both short and long routes is predominately uphill. The longer route then continues around Hoghton Tower, before passing around Anglezarke, then ascends Winter Hill to Bradshaw with a final climb to Affetside. The final few miles is a steady descent back into Tottington. From Lower Darwen the short route follows the Roman road back to Edgworth with several short but steep testers before rejoining the main route on the final climb from Bradshaw to Affetside. The taster route goes through Greenmount and Hawkshaw until Turton Heights where it turns, returning with a nice long downhill to the HQ.
