Start line - From 8am till 10am tea or coffee and home made cake to get you fueled up. No mass start.

GPX file - Field tested gpx files will be sent to your email address by 28/04/2026 (Tuesday prior to the event). 

Route options - There is no need to declare which route you hope to ride when you sign onto the event. Riders receive the full set of GPX files in the week leading up to the event and so can decide on the day which route to ride and swap between routes when they are out on the hills (assuming you have loaded up more than one GPX which is always a good idea)

Parking - Two car parks in the town. A map of their location will be sent out in the final email

Bonus - All riders receive a Howgills Skyline bike sticker in the design at the foot of this page.

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”
