Tour of the Pennines - 3rd Oct

Dr U Idh

I don't suppose anyone has a GPX file of the 100km route??

Hi Dr U Idh

We have not got a GPX file yet but there is a YOUTUBE video featuring the route in Google Earth

Dr U Idh

Cool. Could you send me the .kml file then?

This is my BEST GUESS at the route using the route shown on
http://www.cyclosport.org/eventdetails. ... entid=2322

In particular I am not sure how the route goes through Slaithwaite.

I would only use this as a rough guide until torelli produces the GPX file.

Fabby - should be enough to give me a good idea. This would be my 1st Sportive south of the border, so quite interested to see how it looks on a map.

It's a fast hilly route but Don Black runs audaxes around that area for about £4. Looks a good ride tho', the hills aren't stupidly steep and the roads are A or fast B roads.

I'm going to be doing this for my first ever sportive. I work with they guy in the video on the white scott. I'm reliably informed it should be a really good ride not to mention a great curry after.
I believe that this is the first sportive that they have organised so I would presume they will be out to impress. I'm really looking forward to it

So all you northerners who whinge that there aren't enough sportives up here, lets support this guy and make it a great day.

I'm tempted by this one.

If only for the free curry. Or the £25 curry with free bike ride?

The 60km ride feeding station is only 10km before the finish line!??!! :?

If your only doing 60k do you really need a feeding station at all?? I wouldn't normally have anything on a 60k ride other than my brekkie and the drink I carry.

I think its there as the half way point for the 100k.

Anyway just think of that nice hot curry waiting for you at the finish
