They look like interesting plans? They long races?

Kentmere is 11.9 miles, full Tour of Pendle 16.8 miles, Half Tour is 9 miles.

When are they, 9 miles might be doable! 11.9 sounds a lot if its really really hilly!

Half Tour is March 7th, apparently gets very over subscribed as it's a championship race, I've not entered yet. It's 2250 ft of climbing. It's listed as experience required, navigational skills needed and local knowledge an advantage. I'm hoping to get over there and recce it sometime soon. The Kentmere race isn't until July so lots of time to train.

How have you ended up with a map then? Found entry form so guess can just look at an OS. Still not sure my knees would like me with the downhills.

I bought the maps from Pete Bland Sports. They have the maps for a few races.

I think I'm racing next weekend, Ashurst Beacon. I'd like to try and do a race a month.
