Route descriptions

Both routes start at the Solaris Centre on New South Promenade, Blackpool, and head south toward Lytham St. Annes and Clifton then turn toward North Preston, before heading onto Longridge. There, there will be a turning point at 26 miles for the short flatter route and the feed station at 30 miles. This feed station also doubles up as the second feed for the long route.

Riders opting for the long route will carry on from Longridge and head over and around Calder Fell in an anti-clockwise direction. There will be a first feed station at 32.5 miles before the climbing starts. Riders will be able to take in some breathtaking views on the west side of the climb before heading south toward Claughton. At 56 miles there will be the second feed station for the long route, then riders of both routes will join up and head toward Broughton onto Inskip, Elswick, Wrea Green and eventually back into Blackpool.

Both routes will take in some lovely quiet country roads and beautiful Lancashire countryside that follow the National Cycle Networks.
