The UKCE Fell Beast Sportive has been tailored to be the most spectacular course we have ever designed.
Lake District Cycling
With almost 7,000ft of Cumbrian climbing to tackle over the Epic route, the Beast will test you on some tough climbs yet reward you with a series of scintillating descents mixed with gentle drops that allow you to take in some of the most impressive views in the country.
Warnell Fell
Heading out from Carlisle Racecourse, the route heads south immediately and to our first climb of the day to the top of Warnell Fell. Shortly after the climb you are rewarded with the first panoramic views of the day, looking out over the Lake District National Park. Here, the Short route continues south to Caldbeck, while Standard and Epic riders bear west to Aspatria before bearing south again towards the National Park. After crossing the River Derwent, we reach Bassenthwaite Lake – at which the course splits for the final time as Standard riders move east and Epic riders continue south for a big reward.
Honister Pass Cycling
The first of which is Lorton Vale, with grand fells and crags to your left and views over Crummock Water to your right. After passing Buttermere Lake, we reach our goal for the ride – Honister Pass – with crags looming either side of the road. A tough climb to the top ensues while the peaks of the slate mine area offer views out over the Borrowdale Fells.
We now descend into Borrowdale and skirt the edge of Derwent Water before cutting through Keswick to rejoin the Standard loop at the top of Bassenthwaite Lake. From here we rejoin the Short route and hug the edge of the National Park before heading north to the finish line, where a finisher’s medal and t-shirt wait for you.
I think it depends on the Lidl. There's two near me, one is just half a mile away and has been open over 20 years. The bike parking is not great,...
How about just putting the 20mph limits in wherever there's been a traffic collision? That could change the nature of motorways though.
Obviously we only have the snippets of information from the newspaper report, but Mr Brayley might be correct....
Thanks! For some reason it's not showing up here: https://road.cc/show/tags/nmotd/145572
But it's OK because our taxes are being used to subsidise those poor hard-done-by motorists by freezing fuel duty
Yeah, I saw the Standard headline and thought 1 how many drivers have jumped red lights and been fined (after all they're the ones risking the most...
I have the same issue and recently switched to hot waxing the chain and keeping the drive train free from conventional grease. On dry days a simple...
The Redshift bar has its potential uses; I've had a Giant Defy for a few years and I'm not as flexible now as when I bought it. I would really like...
Highway Code rule 237 If you are dazzled by bright sunlight, slow down and if necessary, stop.
Im betting these come out of the same factory as the SG and the Grip grab gloves. Identical apart from the Silicon overlay....
