A Beginner’s Guide to Sportive Riding

What to Expect in a Velo29 Sportive

The Tour of Lancashire is simply awesome and it’s only getting bigger and bigger.

Starting at the impressive Preston North End FC within 2 miles we are into the glorious Lancashire countryside and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

All the routes feature the Nick ‘O Pendle Hill Climb of which the record has been held by Chris Boardman since 1988 at 3.29, anyone going under 5 minutes in the Sportive will be doing really well!

With stunning scenery, fantastic climbs & descents coupled with first-class route signage and feed stations, The Tour of Lancashire will not disappoint.
