An early split from the other routes at 5 miles sees the short 42m route head over the rolling Lancashire countryside toward Clitheroe. Nothing too strenuous until 19miles in when you will face the Nick ‘O Pendle climb before dropping down to Whalley for your feed station. With less than 18miles to go you will be fuelled enough for the flat run back into Preston.

This is one of our tougher short routes but a challenge that you’ve all previously really enjoyed!

Nick O’Pendle is tough but rewarding, certainly a climb to be proud of tackling.

We’ve moved the date furthre back in the calendar as people are typically more ready for the big hills later in the season.
