It's a Bit Grim Up North

Description

106km cycling event starting from Whalley. Controls at Settle, Dunsop Bridge and Whalley., plus 2 information controls.

You can use E-Brevet proof of passage on this event.

A nice day out around Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland. Only grim if you don't like glorious cycling country!

A new event for 2024. Start from Whalley and head up Pendle Hill, north to Settle and Clapham before returning to Whalley via Bowland Knotts and Cow Ark. A nice day out in glorious cycling country with just 106km and 1.75xAAAs it's really not too grim. There is of course the longer 'It's Grim Up North 200' if you are interested in something a tad more challenging.

Either way, controls are commercial or info and there is either a postal finish or eBrevet upload to validate. Whalley is dead easy to find along the A59 from junction 31 of the M6 for any southerners tempted to venture north. There is free parking available near the start and it's even on the rail network too. Provisional RWGPS https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43612787
