The Raptor - Forest of Bowland 63 mile ride (Cancelled)

OnRoad Leisure , Lancaster – Sunday, 12 Jun 2022

Event Summary

This event has been cancelled

Event Overview

A brand new style of cycling event – our Bellions are a cross between an Audax and a Sportive – using modern technology to reduce the need for event numbers, signage, marshals, timekeeping, mass starts and feed stations – using GPX, Strava and local facilities en route instead.

The Raptor Sportive is a great ride that explores the many miles of remote cycling country in and around this outstanding area – quiet roads and lanes throughout – along with breath taking scenery and challenging ascents.  Come and ride some of the roads that Wiggo did to get ready for the 2012 Tour de France ……….

There will be “social start” between 0930 and 1000hrs for 60 + milers and 0730 and 0800hrs on 100+ milers for folks who want to form a group with other riders they don t know, which Chris + Lynn will see these riders off
