Medium Route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/850246
Short Route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/859068
All three take in some of the most breathtaking scenery that the Yorkshire Dales has to offer, and are supported with signage and food stations
All three routes are the same price to enter, and if your training has gone well (or badly!) you will be able to change the length of route you are entered for on the day.
The epic long route at 114 miles takes in the climbs of Norwood Edge, Fleet Moss and Garsdale Head, finishing with a final climb over our local hill at Langbar . With over 3000m of ascent it really will be a challenge.
This 84 mile route takes you through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, starting up Norwood Edge, over Greenhow to the first feedstation in Grassington. Then after Kilnsey the medium route splits and continues following the river to Halton Gill, climbing up over the moors before dropping down into Settle. The route out of Settle is a sharp climb then sweeping down into Airton to the final feedstation, the route eventually rejoins river leading to the final climb up Langbar and a welcome downhill finish to the Rugby Club.
The Short route is 50 miles and follows the first and last sections of the Medium and Long routes.The route is no pushover, tackling Norwood Edge then continuing over Greenhow dropping down into Grassington for a well earned rest. Then past Bolton Abbey, climbing up Langbar and a downhill finish back to the Rugby Club.
