Lumpy route from Caton near Lancaster through the Forest of Bowland into the Yorshire Dales then join with riders on the two companion events to return via Ribblehead and Dent.

This year it is back to the Victoria Institute in Caton for the start and finish, so the entry price of £16.00 includes breakfast and supper (Vegan and gluten free) and also a distinctive sew on cloth event badge. Controls are either via eBrevet or commercial/info and there will instant validation on the day.

From Caton cross the Forest of Bowland to Pendle Hill, then a lumpy section via Skipton to Stump Cross Caverns and cafe at 95km. Retrace a few km for a downhill section to Grassington where you might meet riders on 'A Bit Dented 150'. Both routes then go along lovely Littondale to Halton Gill where the road climbs steeply before a fast descent to Stainforth. Here you may also join riders on 'Barely Dented 100'. Due to a landslip and road closure in Dentdale, all three routes then go to Dent via a new control at Ingleton via Clapham followed by a climb of spectacular Kingsdale and great descent of Deepdale. The climb after Dent is steep and short but rewarded with a long descent of beautiful Barbondale. Over Devils Bridge and just a few km along quiet lanes back to Caton.

There are also two Audax events run by another organiser on Sunday 27th April in nearby Wray. Why not make it a Forest of Bowland/Yorkshire Dales weekend extravaganza of cycling?

Caton is easy to get to, being just 8km from Lancaster which is situated on the West Coast Mainline and adjacent to the M6 motorway. There are a number of budget hotels in the area.
