The Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Ride - Stoke-on-Trent September 25, 2010

Stoke-on-Trent – Pro Ride

The Stoke-on-Trent Pro Tour Ride covers exactly 100 miles, as befits an event held to celebrate the centenary of this historic city, and will give riders the chance to ride the official route of The Tour of Britain the week after the finale of the race. This 100 mile route will take Tour Riders on a tour of the Potteries, before heading south through the rolling Staffordshire terrain and then turning north towards the Peak District. The climbs will come thick and fast – as riders from 2009 will know only too well – before Tour Riders turn their bikes to the challenging Gun Hill where many thousands of cycling fans gathered in 2009 to watch The Tour of Britain peloton pass through on their way to the finish. As in 2009 there is very little flat ground on this tough route, which next heads south and west, heading back towards Stoke-on-Trent where riders will be assured of a warm welcome at the event village.
