The John “TOMMO” Thompson Memorial Ride is back for 2016 with a brand new start venue from the beautiful village of Meerbrook nr Leek. A new shorter, ‘punchier’ style route (but no less tough) provides a fresh road biking challenge in and around the south west of the Peak District National Park – the long route for 2016 is 75.7km/47miles in length but still with 1733m/5686ft of ascent whilst the short route option comes in at 36.4km/22.6miles with about 692m/2264ft of climb.
As with all D&W sportives our aim is to provide a route very high on quality (scenery, beautiful villages, quiet lanes) and low on busy/dangerous/noisy main roads.
