ronde van oost lancashire - coming soon!


It occured to me whilst preparing for the Tour of Flanders sportive last year that East Lancashire where I live is really quite like Flanders - no, really, bear with me. Cobbles, short sharp hills, pissy weather conditions, rough roads.......even if the beer is not as good.

Coming soon then, a series of narrative posts documenting the design of the first ever Ronde van Oost Lancashire - my homage to the Ronde van Vlaanderen with around 18 or so classic climbs, cobbles, narrow lanes, 50 odd miles in length and with over 6000ft of climbing!
