I'm riding this Sportive for the first time this year (Epic). I was wondering if those who have ridden it before (or have experience or the route) would be able to tell me if any of the hills have challenging gradients? I can see from the route info that it looks quite lumpy but I'm know sure how heart wrenching the hills actually are :D
Many thanks!

    Without knowing much about your riding experience it is hard to answer that.

    The course covers a lot of our club's territory and all levels within the club usually seek out the climbs so they are certainly achievable by all abilities. I'm riding with the intermediates these days and breeze up most climbs in the area on a non-compact (53/39) chainset.

    If you've ridden anywhere in the Yorkshire or Derbyshire they are nowhere near as tough as some of those.

    Rode the standard route last year and everything was very rideable.

    Depends on your fitness of course :wink:
