Give or take 152km of forward, 1790m of up – and plotted on STRAVA by none other than Darren Wareing – weather asides – what on earth is holding you back?! This year’s Circle of Hope ride – heads out of Hope and around anti-clockwise. Leeswood, Treuddyn, and generally downhill towards Corwen before hanging a left to follow the Dee Valley East. Crossing the road that leads up to the Horseshoe Pass, and on up and over the ford and up The Worlds End, dropping down the other side into Minerva, and onwards descending to Bangor-on-Dee. Malpas, No Man’s Heath, and rounding back to the West at Beaston. Alford, Holt, Rosett, and back to hope, with a no doubt unwelcome ascent into the finish.
Lets hope the weather does not put too many people off. Registration (site showing register on the day now) from 7am – start for the 100mile at 8am. See you there :D
