How’s this for something a little different? On Sunday April 24 you can take to the saddle on a vintage or classic bike (new-fangled modern contraptions also welcome though) for a jaunt around Lancashire. Two distances are available: “The Trial” (£12.50) a 53mile circular route featuring challenging climbs previously utilised in the Tour of Britain, and “The Cauldron” (£4.50) a 13mile novice route that still offers up two chewy climbs but has the added attraction of a two mile freewheel downhill.
Race HQ for both events is the Craven Heifer Pub, Rawtenstall (map details here). Proceeds go to both Cancer Research and local charity Stepping Stones.
