The ALL NEW Strade Short Route!

As far as short routes go, this 49.7km route is going to present a challenge! That challenge comes in the form of a big hill in the first 10km, it’s called Esclusham Mountain, we hit it after 4km and it takes us from 90m to 450m! All 3 routes go up this mountain, it’s going to be a major taking point of the event and probably one to chat about at the bar for some months to follow!

The short isn’t all about the mountain but other than Esclusham it’s not an overly challenging route. We’ve got a great feed stop for you at Llangollen with fresh food, High5 and a hot brew. The feed is at 24km and from there back to Wrexham we do encounter a few uphill lumps but we are soon at the top and it’s a rapid blast downhill to the finish line!

We’ve got a great medal for you when you cross the line as well as a hot BBQ sausage and chilled beer.

All 3 routes on this new Sportive are going to be fab! We can’t wait to see you on Esclusham Mountain!
