Hi Ladies and Gents,
As in the title, details:
100 mi (160km), 7500ft (2325m) of climbing.
Planned to give our most experienced riders, (already comfortable on our Fullock route), a new challenge. The Epic is guaranteed to test, taking you deep into the stunning Dales and up some of Yorkshire's most iconic climbs. Setting off from Ilkley and heading through Bolton Abbey and up the valley, your first leg warmer skirts around Appletreewick, climbs to Hebden and flattens through Grassington and Kettlewell, where you'll stop for your first refreshments. Thereafter you'll snake up the breathtaking (literally) Park Rash with it's 25% inclines and hairpin bends and on through Coverdale. Stop for a quick refresh in Swinithwaite before your next big climb up Kidstones. Then it's all down hill back to Kettlewell and lunch. You're onwards towards Kilnsey, before picking up the route to Malham and your final challenge of the day. Riders will need experience of long distances and Yorkshire (style) territory to get the most from this day. Ride Marshalls will be around to mentor and coach but for your own safety and enjoyment, riders will have to make our checkpoints by certain times to continue on the ride.
GPS Route
Any takers?
