Keswick Sportive

[Paul_L]

Anyone else doing this.

I (possibly foolishly) have entered the 105km 6 pass route including Whinlatter, Newlands and Honister each of which are done in both directions.

The distance i'm fine with but this will be a big step up in ascents for me and one which i might struggle with.

I will be doing the shorter option

I have ridden Honister and newlands before.

Honister (from the Seatoller side) was brutal but do-able, I think judging by the descent that it would be harder climbing it from the other side.

Newlands was pretty steady with a steep drag at the very top.
