The bigger the challenge the bigger the reward! That is the equation isn’t it?

As far as challenges go, Ronde LONG has it all. Yorkshire’s climbing is ‘special’, not long but steep and repetative. From the gun we are stirght onto Clay Bank and it doesn’t stop until the end is in sight.

The up is of course followed by down and Yorkshire’s descents are just as special. Of course when descending fast you’re still working hard so don’t expect a rest!

LONG istThe one to go for, get in the extra training miles if you’re not sure you can push on beyond the Medium. The Whitby loop will be amazing, we ride past the amusements, along the coast, up the Keiber Pass, past the Whale Bone then descend to Sandsend which is stunning! You also get the 33% Lythe Bank reward on the way!

We know Yorkshire better than most and trust us, this new Ronde Long is worth every pedal stroke!
