Barely Dented

Description

103km cycling event starting from Caton, nr Lancaster. Controls at Settle (Free Control) and Bull Beck Picnic Site Or Co-Op/Atm In Caton., plus 1 information control.

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

A picturesque Brevet Populaire in the Yorkshire Dales with a sedate minimum speed of just 10kph.

From Caton along mainly quiet lanes to Settle then gently climb via Horton-in-Ribblesdale and converge with the two companion events - 'A Bit Dented 150' and 'Stumped and Dented 200' until the finish. Pass Ribblehead Viaduct and under Denthead Viaduct to Dent. The climb from Dent is steep and short but rewarded with a long descent of beautiful Barbondale followed by a few flatter km to the end.

This year there is cafe start with free car park so entry price is now just a paltry £8.00 which includes a distinctive sew on cloth event badge (toilets are not free though so bring change!). Controls are either via eBrevet or commercial and info and there will be a postal finish. There are also two Audax events run by another organiser on 28th 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. Provisional GPX https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40796774
