Echappée Escapades

Hey all,

Some of you may have ridden the Epic Echappée last year and this year we are expanding on its success and hosting a little series of free rides this spring, inspired by the classics and a love for long hard days out on the bike.

There will be four in total and sign up for the first two is now live.

More information and sign up can be found by clicking the following link...

In for the south one!

Is anyone attending the first one tomorrow? could I ask for the gpx?

I think this is probably it

Gutted I couldn't make the north ride. Climbing doesn't look off the charts like the previous edition or the even-steeper route this year, anyone who's done the north, would it be doable SS/FG?

I think so. Nothing too steep or long. Great route, well worth doing.

My legs may have just about recovered by the time the South ride comes along.

Was the route the one above?

Ok well if you're still recovering then I'll do it SS!

Yup, there were a few cheeky sections in there so look out for grumpy landowners.

Round 2, the original 'Epic Echappée' is this Saturday, still time to sign up if anyone is interested...

Hopefully see some of you there!

Also that route above is indeed the right one, not too hilly, just rolling throughout. As Jon mentioned we had a couple of whoopsies with the route and snuck down a couple of private lanes, probably fine if theres just a small group of you out and both cases are very easy to work around. None of that this weekend though!

I was really looking forward to this, but work got in the way last minute! Bummer
