Welcome to the NEW Fred Whitton website
The Saddleback Fred Whitton Challenge
From 2014 it starts & finishes at Grasmere, and the route includes the climbs of Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott & Wrynose passes.
This annual event is run on the Sunday following the May Day bank holiday Monday.
NEXT EVENT IS SUNDAY 11th MAY 2014
We’ve also set up a timed self-led challenge ride over the same course (but starting from Coniston) called the ‘Four Seasons Fred Whitton’ – that you can do at any time of the year, when it suits you, with friends or clubmates for example.
