Organiser's Description

Ever wondered about that dark place just over the hills where you're told not to go? It's the Otterburn ranges and now you have your chance to ride it; up and over one of Northumberland’s only Alpine style passes – and be timed doing it. A 65 mile ride with 6000ft of climbing.

One-off permission has been given by the Ministry of Defence to include a cross ranges ride that also cuts above Elsdon, Hepple, Rothbury and Holystone. A fully supported ride with a t-shirt at the end and a real chance to get out into some of the most remote parts of the county. Starting and finishing at Rose & Thistle Pub, Alwinton.
