Wheel Do It! with Full Gas Bikes - Tour de Yorkshire sportive (1)

Here is a challenging route that will give our legs a workout! This ride follows the course for the short (45km) route of the forthcoming Tour de Yorkshire sportive. We start from Full Gas Bikes at Fox Valley and begin with a short warm-up before tackling the steep climb of Pea Royd lane and heading to Penistone and back round through Thurgoland to Wortley. From there we go through Deepcar and then turn right up another steep climb to Ewden. We'll then continue to Kirk Edge Road and pass through High Bradfield before swinging back round for the third challenging climb, which takes us up to Bolsterstone. The rest of the ride is mostly downhill, taking us back to Full Gas for coffee and some very well deserved cake. The route includes three challenging climbs, but we'll take our time and stop for breathers if necessary. There is also no shame in walking up any of the steeper parts - we never leave anyone behind. If you prefer a shorter route, there is the option to leave the group at Deepcar and return directly to Full Gas (missing out climbs two and three). NOTE: there are some short sections of A-road where fast moving traffic is likely
