The hardest cycle sportive, in Loweswater, is back
New Gravel Route for 2024
Back in the days of fully rigid mountain bikes and cantilever brakes, the Team Townend crew were hammering round gravel lanes, forest roads and flowing single track dreaming of a Girvin Flex Stem or a pair of Rock Shox Judy forks. For 2024, we going to share those secret trails with you. The route will remain highly confidential until a few days before the event...but it is flippin awesome! Find out more on the Courses page.
About
In 2010, Christian and Niggy went out for a ride like we all do. But this time, they didn’t come home.
We organised the Team Townend Challenge in their memory, to bring friends, family and cyclists together to raise funds for our chosen charity, RoadPeace, who campaign for road safety and justice for victims of road collisions.
Every pound of the £70,000 raised to date has gone directly to RoadPeace.
​
Team Townend Challenge will back in September 2024.
Our fundraising target of £100,000 remains in place, it just might take a bit longer to get there. Find out how you can support Team Townend on our Fundraising page.
