What to Expect in a Velo29 Sportive
The 5 Dales is BACK!
Back on the calendar again! The popular 5 Dales Sportive!
As part of A Weekend in Hell 3 day event we’ve decided to make The 5 Dales open to any rider. This is day 1 of 3 days in Hell, we didn’t want people to miss out on the fun so we’ve made The 5 Dales available to you all!
It’s tough, both the 197km Long and the 141km Medium are as tough as it gets. A dizzy 3,155m of vert on the Long!
Depart Richmond School at 7:30am and take on this brutal event. In 2024 riders were amazed at what a wonderful route this is. We take in all kinds of scenary in this huge circuit of the Yorkshire Dales. There are no low-lands, all of the event is up and down The Dales.
All the roads are quiet and the views wonderful. Often the weather is changable on such a varied and vast course.
The long route has the enjoyable addition of the Fleetmoss loop which also includes the Buckden climb, long and steep in places!
It’s not an event we run every year so don’t miss it in 2025!
N.B. Free Campervan parking at The HQ Friday and Saturday night, booking essential, please email events@velo29.com
