Description

A challenging hundred miler into the white peaks. Many years ago it was the organiser's first 100 mile and first Audax.

Its a rolling start across Staffordshire, but with a general upward trend. Fuel well at the cafe control as the substantial climb up into the peaks awaits. Its up and down through the Dales, but by Parsley Hay the worst of the climbing is over. That is until Old Hill in Ashbourne where a walk might be in order. The run down to Tutbury is a relief to the legs and then the run through Needwood Forest back towards the finish.

Please enter beforehand to make it easier for the organiser, but entries on the day are possible. Free DIY toast from 7:30 am. Combination of cafe, info and free controls. Free food & drink at finish.

Any surplus funds goes to support the running of Cycling UK North Birmingham Club. Shenstone is served by trains from Birmingham New Street and Lichfield Trent Valley station is also only a short train or ride away for other main line routes.
