Mow Cop: What Sportive???

[summit2ride]

I've ridden Mow Cop a few times now, most recently on Saturday morning 17/9/2016. There was loads of Sportive signs up, does anyone know what sportive goes up there??

The Cheshire Cat also uses it (usually April but has been July'ish) and there are others too through the year if planning a sportive round it.

I think the Cheshire Cat organisers went bust this year. I might be wrong though. Kilo to Go?

They did - I think I remember reading that someone bought the business, and is planning to run the Cat next year.

You can always tell when the entries open, as the Mow Cop climb gets really busy with people trying it out
