The Cumbrian Killer, 2nd May 2010

 

In it's second year in 2010, this cyclosportive traverses some of the best
cycling country in Britain, if not the world! 

 

  <http://www.cyclosport.org/members/getImage.aspx?ThumbNail=N&id=2069> The
event starts at Dallam School on the North Lancashire / Cumbrian border and
takes in some of the legendary climbs of the English Lake District. With
approximately 2,620 metres of climbing over 88 miles (full course) through
superb mountain scenery, it has become a classic sportive route, appealing
to Expert Sportive Riders who relish a magnificant challenge.

 

If you're going to miss the Fred Whitton this year or want to warm up
properly for it, then this is the event for you!

 

 

 

 

  <http://www.cyclosport.org/members/getImage.aspx?ThumbNail=N&id=2068> The
climbs of Kirkstone Pass (16%), Red Bank (25%), Blea Tarn (25%) and the
legends of Wrynose Pass (25%) and Hardknott Pass (30%) all feature with an
unforgettable descent of "The Struggle".

 

There is a shorter course of 73 miles with 2,000 metres of climbing to allow
cyclists to enjoy more of the majestic landscape of the Lake District.

 

The event costs £35 to enter which includes feedstops, electronic timing, a
fully signed course and a sag wagon for support. The 2 feed stations will be
available at 30 miles and 60 miles to keep you going.

 

Photographs and results will be available soon after the event.
