Pendle 600

Description

612km cycling event starting from Pendleton, Lancashire. Controls at Pateley Bridge, Rosedale Abbey, Robin Hood's Bay, Stokesley, Barnard Castle, Hexham, Langwathby, Seascale, Carnforth and Pendleton.

6th time running of this very popular, 612 km Audax event through the Pennine chain. The event counts as a 600 km PBP qualifier.

This 612 km Audax event follows a hilly, anti-clockwise circuit circling northern England. The event has a predicted 10000+ metres of climbing. Bag drop to Langwathby available. Enjoy an amphitheatre of scenery as you circumnavigate northern England passing through several National Parks including the Yorkshire Dales; North Yorks' Moors and the Lake District. Saturday sees the riders head north-easterly out of Lancashire, passing through the Ribble Valley before climbing over the North Yorks' Moors to the east coast. The northern Pennines follow, where a food/sleep station has been arranged at 392 km. After clearing the Langwathby control, riders will be into the Lake District; climbing over some legendary Lakeland passes including: Whinlatter; Hardknott and Wrynose. The final run into the finish passes through the Trough of Bowland.
