Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Ride recce National road champ stars in video recce of Tour of Britain Ride route
The Rapha Condor team and the Prostate Cancer Charity have put together a recce video for Stage 5 of this year's Tour of Britain starring National Road Race Champion, Kristian House. Stage 5 is also the route for the Tour of Britain Prostate Cancer Charity ride on September 6.
During the video Kristian identifies key points on the ride and gives some tips on how to cope with them - particularly the ascent of the biggest obstacle Gun Hill.
The Stoke ride is aimed at everybody from hardcore amateurs through to families with three different ride challenges on offer that should offer something to suit all abilities and levels of fitness
The Pro Tour Ride is the toughest challenge and takes in takes in all 145km of the Stoke-on-Trent stage of this year’s Tour of Britain, providing an opportunity for amateur riders to test themselves against the same course as some of the world’s top pros will do battle on, during The Tour of Britain stage, the following week. Entry for the ride is£40, the start time is 8am and all participants must be over 16.
At 70km, the Challenge Tour Ride will be a great way to take on friends and family over a route that still takes in much of The Tour of Britain stage. The ride follows exactly the same route as the Pro Tour Ride until approximately the 45km mark, just after Millwich. Entry for Challenge Tour Ride is £30, Sthe start time is 9am, and all participants must be over 14.
The Family Ride is a fun 20km ride for all the family, allowing groups of all abilities to enjoy the scenic Staffordshire countryside together, whilst helping to fight prostate cancer. Entry for the Family ride is £5, start time is 10am, and there is no age limit. This ride takes in a mixture of roads, towpaths and bridleway and includes one small hill.

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
