ABOUT
Description
This isn’t your average sportive — this is a proper climbing challenge built for riders who love tough terrain and rewarding days in the saddle.
With around 1500m+ (5200 ft) of climbing packed into 106 km (64 miles), this route will test your legs, pacing and determination from start to finish.
Designed for riders looking for something more demanding, the route takes in some seriously challenging climbs and spectacular scenery, creating an unforgettable day on the bike.
This event is all about the ride, the adventure and the challenge ahead.
No shortcuts.
No easy option.
Just you, your bike and the climbs.
Definitely not for the faint-hearted — unless you’re looking for something seriously rewarding.
Are you hard-core enough?
You must join the official group event on Strava to be eligible for a share of the prizes. (TBC).
No matter your ability, this is a friendly and welcoming sportive.
