By: Tripbod National Road Race Championships For June 26th and 27th 2010, those rolling hills have been chosen as a fitting challenge for the best British cycling has to offer. The National Road Race Championships are coming to the Pendle villages on a gruelling 7½ mile circuit. SKY will be covering the action for television, as well as to support their own cycle team. Watch top riders battle it out the week before the Tour De France. Will Steve Burke, Pendle’s own Olympic medallist, beat Bradley Wiggins, fourth in the Tour de France in last year? Champions come to Pendle There will be two Championship races, both restricted to elite-level competitors; Both events will cover multiple laps of the circuit around Barley, Blacko and Roughlee. Men will cover 16 laps, women 9 laps. Cycling for everyone There will also be a chance for everyone to have a go – expert or novice, young or old – as the events are part of the Pendle Bike Fest, which incorporates a range of cycle rides suitable for all. The laps will start and end in Barley and there will be plenty of opportunities to spectate along the route. The locals will be out in force and the route offers plenty of pub based vantage points guaranteed to offer a much more comfortable view than the one the riders are looking at! There are also several local campsites, B&Bs and guesthouses along the route and nearby, which will offer on-the-spot access to the vehicle-restricted circuit… A spectacular event As a local, I know just how steep, long and punishing those hills are – by the end of the race, it will only be the cheering support that keeps these cyclists going! With dramatic views from the top, high speeds on the downhills and the chance to watch truly herculean feats of physical prowess, it seems like sleepy Pendle will be the place to be for that particular weekend in June.
