Join us on this 45Km gravel cycle around one of the largest windfarms in Europe.
The distance for this event may appear short/medium, but cycling on rough ground can be very demanding. A reasonable level of fitness and confidence on tricky surfaces is essential.
This is a group cycle and nobody gets left behind.
A Strava route for the event is available to logged-in members.
