La Event
The 68 mile Charity Sportive takes place on Sunday 11th September 2022 from Knutsford. It has the perfect combination of flats rolling hills and technical descents, from Cheshire plains to the challenging cobbled climbs of Swiss Hill and Beason Brow passing Windgather Rocks and through the stunning Goyt Valley. With full signage, half way stop and refreshments all included we aim to make it the best sportive possible.
"Best sportive I have done..."
