A BIG cycling event is set to take place in Great Langdale on Sunday.
Endurance sports organiser, Epic Events is hosting the Lakeland Loop Cycle Sportive, a challenging 86.5-mile bike ride around the Lake District.
Starting from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Great Langdale, between 8am and 10.30am, the event is being sponsored by North West legal firm, Russell and Russell Solicitors.
Although not a competitive race, the route will incorporate some of the most gruelling climbs, so is not for the faint hearted. There will be two food stops along the way and free parking is available at the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel.
Derrick Smethurst, of Russell and Russell Solicitors, said: “The Lakeland Loop will be a fantastic day out and I wish all cyclists the very best of luck for completing the course.”
Entry for the Lakeland Loop is £25 and participants must be 16 years old or over. Enter on line at www.epicevents.co.uk. Entries will close at 12 noon on Thursday or when the event is full.
