This granfondo/sportive is going to be a good one. It's on 21 June 2014. Relatively short (60 ish miles) but very hilly. I've done the route - it's nasty, but very scenic.
If you like cycling, lots of hills and pizza...
Nino’s Fighting Cocks Granfondo is a relatively short sportive; in distance terms; but don’t be fooled. It is very hilly and challenging for even the fittest riders. Taking in many (in)famous local climbs in and around the Pennine Hills of Lancashire and West Yorkshire.The route is just over 60 miles with over 2000m of climbing.
The entrance fee is £20.00 - £5.00 goes to the charity 'Mind'. The remaining entry fee includes cyclist insurance, number and also pasta at the feed station.
On the day there will be having bike mechanics on site from Protool Cycle Works if anybody has an mechanical problems/advice pre and post rides. Feel free to find these guys.
There will also be a display of Beacon Bikes from 'The Fell Bike Shop' in Whalley. http://www.beaconfell.com/
Refreshments after the race including wood-fired Pizzas from the outdoor oven and refreshments.
