The Peaks Sportive:Sunday 24th June 2012 |
Our RideIt! manager has been described as an 'evil genius' for his daring to design such a challenging, and exhilarating route. This weekend's ride is thoroughly rewarding and not for the faint-hearted!!
Route description:
If you are heading on to the long rides, than you will be of a breed who enjoys a challenge! All the routes accept the Fun 15 miler head out to Hope Valley and Edale.
Mouth-watering scenery and big climbs go hand-hand with this landscape. This is a smashing ride to enjoy at the peak of your season. The longroute starts out with a tough loop taking in a fair few local climbs on some quiet roads with plenty of fantastic views. If we’ve tired you out, there is the option to sneak back on the short route, otherwise it’s into the Hope Valley and then onto the Snake Pass
Snake Pass one of the classic climbs in Britain is at a 7% gradient for 3.2 miles it's no wonder that it features regularly in races like the Tour of Britain. The record stands at just over 10 minutes - can you beat that?
