The Winking Sheep Sportive

The North Pennines is known as the Roof of England, as it features England's highest climb and England's two highest mountain passes. If you haven't visited the area before, this really is an undiscovered cycling gem!!

What better way to experience the stunning scenery, winding roads and those climbs than to join us for our 3rd Winking Sheep Sportive?
(formerly known as Roof of England Sportive)

We have been busy rebranding this event, as we all believe it has what it takes to be up there with the most respected UK sportives.

'The Winking Sheep' 90 mile course with nearly 9000ft ascent is difficult, and it's meant to be! After 75 miles of course, you'll be welcomed by the thigh burning 25% slope climb up Peat Hill from Westgate.

'The Shearling' 75 mile course is everything the full 90 mile course is, but without that nasty 'sting in the tail' climb.

'The Lamb' 55 mile course is the shortest of the 3 courses, but still a good challenge - see all the views without enduring all the hills!!
