The Cumbrian Killer, 2nd May 2010

[veloriders]

In it's second year in 2010, this cyclosportive traverses some of the best cycling country in Britain, if not the world! The event starts at Dallam School on the North Lancashire / Cumbrian border and takes in some of the legendary climbs of the English Lake District. With approximately 2,620 metres of climbing over 88 miles (full course) through superb mountain scenery, it has become a classic sportive route, appealing to Expert Sportive Riders who relish a magnificant challenge. If you're going to miss the Fred Whitton this year or want to warm up properly for it, then this is the event for you!


The climbs of Kirkstone Pass (16%), Red Bank (25%), Blea Tarn (25%) and the legends of Wrynose Pass (25%) and Hardknott Pass (30%) all feature with an unforgettable descent of "The Struggle".

There is a shorter course of 73 miles with 2,000 metres of climbing to allow cyclists to enjoy more of the majestic landscape of the Lake District.

The event costs £35 to enter which includes feedstops, electronic timing, a fully signed course and a sag wagon for support. The 2 feed stations will be available at 30 miles and 60 miles to keep you going.

Photographs and results will be available soon after the event.
