The main climbing starts at around the 12 mile marker and finishing at Robin Hood’s Butt at 15 miles after which it’s fast cycling to the split point. The long route wends it’s way down to Clun (feed station) via some more climbs and then on to Knighton where riders tackle a long 14 mile climb to the top of Kerry Hill.
