Le Terrier 2010

[AndyRud]

A few mates and I are thinking of signing up for this ride this year and were wondering if anybody has done it before and what its like?

I might do the 45 mile route ,its a fantastic route in lovely surroundings ,it takes in some decent climbs as well ,the ride up to the Bowland Knotts is double chevroned in parts.

...the ride up to the Bowland Knotts is double chevroned in parts.

Last time I rode over the Trough of Bowland - in the rain, which it does a lot - I was overtaken by the tail end of a time trial up there. It's a very lumpy part of the world. "Going backwards" doesn't come close.

I did the long version today. Next time I'm going to do it backwards as it will be downhill all the way.

Last year I decided I was going to do it this year, but have just been off the bike for too long to face that amount of hills - put back on to do list for next year!

2 new routes for next year added to the existing 45miler.
There is a 97 mile route- le terrier sauvage and a shorter route of approx 68 miles.
