Did you enjoy it Kbrook ? We couldn't have asked for abetter day..Good turn out too.
Stiff old climb that Bowland Knotts.

 

[Kbrook]

Yes was very nice. I've done that climb a few times and it's always tough, wind a little against today so was a bit tougher. Thought it was a good first attempt by them the only thing I think they got wrong was the feed station which was only 15 miles into the ride. My only stop was for the Remembrance Day in Slaidburn for about 10minutes. What was your total elevation ?my phone showed about 4300ft, my garmin about 5600, massive difference.

 

[Stu Smith]

Agree about the first feed station. I too stopped at Slaidburn for Remembrance Day.
Strava 4,166ft Garmin 4,295

Think I might have stopped behind you, there were two gran fondos next to each other waiting.
