Hell of the North

For those not based in Zone 1-6, we have our own Tour de Yorkshire, setting off from Nell Bank in Ilkley, home of the White Rose Classic, and wending its way through the beautiful, peaceful, idyllic, and absolutely brutal climbs that North Yorkshire has to offer, before welcoming everyone back for beers and BBQ at the end of a job well done – and there’s even a gravel track for future Curistas to spin themselves silly on while they wait.

The Hell of the North will cover 109km with 2110m of climbing, which includes Barden Moor, Fountains Abbey, Menwith Hill and the gorgeous Burnsall Fell.

In advance of the event riders will receive an Event Guide including details on parking, routes, food and drink stops, safety and much more.
