ALL NEW SHORT ROUTE, now includes Mow Cop and Biduplh Moor!
Feel the atmosphere of setting off on one of the most historic Sportives the UK has to offer. The short route is ideal for riders new to Sportives or more experienced riders simply wanting a gentle spin, challenging nonetheless at 54 miles and with the infamous Mow Cop, it’s still a tough morning/ day out!
We wanted to make the Short Route mor eexciting, more of an achievement and of course, this is no shame in pushing up Mow Cop…..many of the Long route riders do!
We’ve got a great new feed station for you at Gawsworth which is where we say good bye to the Medium and Long. It’s mostly downhill from here back to Port Vale FC, with a little kick at the end into the Town.
At the finish we’ll have an awesome medal awaiting, a hot BBQ sausage bun and a chilled can of Erdinger Alkoholfrei.
A brilliant day out for any rider.
