Organiser's Description
A fantastic, popular, well established sportive that has been running for 11 years, now utilising the legendary Tour de France Grand Depart route. Three routes will each follow part of the Grand Depart route: 5 Dales, 118 miles with 8 major ascents, including Kidstones, Buttertubs and Whipperdale Bank - the 3 Tour climbs (this one is for experienced cyclists!); 4 Dales, 85 miles, misses 2 of the hardest climbs but still includes Buttertubs and Whipperdale Bank (enter the 115, but take this option if you're having a bad day!); 3 Dales, 60 miles, follows the main route for the first 30 miles, then 'escapes' down Swaledale. Still a major challenge, especially up Whipperdale Bank, the final climb!
