This ride is a local version of the infamous Tour of Flanders and will include up to 14 cobbled climbs. The Route will be well signposted before and after each junction along the ride. A garmin file will be available to download about 10 days before the event for those needing one on www.rondevancalderdale.org and our Facebook page. Please note, we sometimes need to undertake last-minute minor re-routing due to local road works, so please use the file as a guide and follow the RVC signs on the day.
For Storm riders meet at Spen Valley High School for 8.30am ride starts for batchs of riders at 2 min intervals. Plan will be to ride together between the climbs, regather after each climb. Note there is a shorter 60 mile option.
Sign up to the ride and we can work out car/van sharing.
Safety, pace, and ride notes
THIS NOT, I REPEAT NOT a gravel ride. Come on your lightest bike. All cobbles are up hill, consider big tyres. There will be refreshment stops, do bring bars and drink.
