It's only 50 miles or so but is an evil combination of most of the Strines's 20% heart starters. Ranked as difficult on

A non competitive sportive ride over 50 miles with 8,700ft of ascent. Based at Bradfield Village Hall. The route covers some of the road used in the 2014 Tour de France and previously the Tour of Britain and Milk Race. The iconic and legendary Strines Valley is full of enchanted lanes which lead to some very steep climbs, some of which are 25%. The route is very quiet with most lanes single track.

This is a non competitive ride and entrants won't be timed. Possibly the hardest 50 miles you will ever ride.

The HQ is Bradfield Village Hall which situated in the picturesque village of Low Bradfield, 7 miles north west of Sheffield. The Hall is located on The Sands, a small lane opposite the village post office. Parking is available in the car park at the back of the cricket pavilion.
