Event Summary
Event Overview
Please note that the date of this event has been changed to 25 July 2015 (a week earlier than the original date) to avoid a clash with another charitable sportive in the area.
NEW! Not for the faint‐hearted. This complete circumnavigation of the High Cheviots on quiet roads in Northumberland and Scottish Borders is a nominal 200km (actual 208.6km, 129.6miles) with an estimated total ascent of 3200m. We expect that this ride will appeal to experienced cyclists who like that extra bit of challenge.
The halfway station (approx) of this route will be Kielder Castle within Kielder Forest where, as well as the normal Feed station, there will be sports massage services. Our partner for this event will be Kielder Water & Forest Park. Note that this ride does not go down any stretches of the dangerous A68.
Entries for this event are open now. Entries close Sunday 19 July 2015.
