Wiggle Hell of Hexham Sportive 2013
EVENT DATE
Sunday 29nd September 2013
LOCATION
Hexham, Northumberland
EVENT SUMMARY
Another new addition to the Wiggle Super Series for 2013, The Hell of Hexham promises a challenging sportive route tackling the climbs of the North Pennines.
ROUTE INFORMATION
3 route options are available –
- Epic – 99 miles
- Standard – 86 miles
- Fun – 52 miles
“The route takes you through Allendale town and then climbs to Coalclengh, it passes disused mines and out of season ski lifts, giving a sense of remoteness and escapism. At this point the route splits and the Epic route heads South and gets Very Hilly passing over ‘Chapel Fell’ which offers a long demanding climb. An awesome decent awaits before the challenge of ‘White Hill’, passing Bollinghope Common. From the top there are awe inspiring unrivalled views! The final climb of ‘Long Hill’ (there is a clue to the type of climb in the name) has to be conquered before the route rejoins the standard route and heads North towards Derwent Resevoir.
A few climbs and endless stunning views of Hexham Common and the Tyne Valley await before riders will arrive back at Hexham Racecourse.”
