Tour of the Roaches Cyclo-Sportive

Starting from Bowdon Rugby Club you will set off with one of Joe Hall's famous Chorley cakes and head out to the Cheshire countryside. Head south through Cheshire into Staffordshire and then head around the stunning rocky outcrop that is The Roaches. The long route then heads out to Bakewell before returning via Tideswell and Buxton and a lovely finish through the leafy lanes of Cheshire. Waiting for you back at base will be more fare from Joe - one of his awesome pies and a cup of tea in your commemorative mug!

This will be a challenge but we haven't drawn a line between all of the toughest climbs. There are some hills but our criteria was beautiful countryside and good riding backed up with fantastic rider support and event organisation. We look forward to welcoming you to the first in a series of new cyclo-sportives for 2011.
