The ALL NEW Short Route!

65km, 1,138m of climbing. The toughest short route on the 2026 series.

The main feature is the climb of The Stang, reaching 517m! Some wonderful views up there on the right day. The descent off The Stang is amazing, all the way to the feed stop at CB Inn.

Grinton Moor at 415m is the other major climb, don’t be fooled, when you pass the YHA building you’re not at the top!

Down hill all the way off Grinton back to Richmond, a great late season test or an oppertunity to explore some wonderful parts of Yorkshire.

Campervan parking available on site at HQ on Friday before the event, email events@velo29.com to book a pitch.
