Less than 4 weeks to go until Cycle the Solway 2013


Cycle the Solway takes place on Sunday 29th September. Cycle on flat bike friendly roads through a unique corner of Cumbria. Choose either 25km, 50km or 100km routes. All three routes start and finish at The Border Reiver Pub in Carlisle. All monies raised go to the Eden Valley Hospice.




·         100km route – The route heads west from The Border Reiver Pub in Carlisle towards Abbeytown in the same direction as stage two of this year’s Tour of Britain. The ride then heads towards Allonby and then up the coast road to Silloth. The riders then head back towards Abbeytown and then north towards Kirkbride where they will then complete a loop heading through Anthorn, Bowness on Solway and Burgh by Sands before heading back to the finish at The Border Reiver Pub.

·         50km route – The route heads towards Thurstonfield through Little Orton from the start at The Border Reiver Pub. The riders will then join up with the 100km participants at Kirkbride where they will complete the same loop through Anthorn, Bowness on Solway and Burgh by Sands before heading back to the finish at the Border Reiver Pub.

·         25km route – The route heads in the same direction as the 50km ride with a shorter loop where the riders go through Easton heading on to Burgh by Sands, then towards the finish at The Border Reiver Pub.

The three beautiful routes on offer should challenge any participants who would like to take part and help the Eden Valley Hospice.
