Breeze 50K & 100K Challenge Training – Hill Climb Special

Breeze 50K & 100K Challenge Training – Hill Climb Special Ok, so by now you should have the mileage under your belt ready for October 4th This series of two rides is to help find your climbing legs. The Climb is a 300mt Climb over the Nick of Pendle. The first ride takes just under a 10 mile loop from the Sabden Start point and approach the hill from the North (Clitheroe) side, commonly known as the easy route. Incidentally this is the route for the first KoM on stage 2 of this years Tour of Britain. As with all Breeze rides, you go at your own pace up the hill, there will be a regroup at the Cattle grid which is half way and then at the top where they’ll be a photo call with your smiley face knowing you’ve conquered a tough climb. If you’re confident of reaching the top in one go then we’ll meet you at the top. The Climb is a 300mt Climb over the Nick of Pendle. This second ride takes just under a 9 mile loop from the Sabden Start point and approach the hill from the South (Sabden) side, commonly known as the Hard route. On this years Tour of Britain even the pro cyclists aren’t tackling this one. As with all Breeze rides, you go at your own pace up the hill, there will be a regroup at the Cattle grid and then at the top where they’ll be a photo call with your smiley face knowing you’ve conquered an even tougher climb. If you’re confident of reaching the top in one go then we’ll meet you at the top. The Start / Meeting point is the Car Park in Sabden off Padiham Road, Sabden, BB7 9EX across from the White Hart pub which incidentally does a mean Hot Chocolate. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the “Ride Start Time” as we will always do a cycle and clothing check. The “Ride Start Time” is 6:30 pm We always ride at a pace to suit the group, so don't be put off if you feel a bit nervous or rusty, we've all been there! I advise you to dress to suit the weather on the day. Its always a good idea to bring a drink with you. Helmets are not compulsory but I advise if you have one to bring it with you. A spare inner tube or repair kit is also a good addition to your kit. There will be a Coffee stop so bring some money if you want to buy drinks etc. If you have any questions please email [email protected] There is also a Breeze Network Pendle Facebook group which you can join. Links to future rides will be added to this group along with other useful information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/breezenetworkpendle/
