The cottages4you Pendle Cycle Fest is now in its 6th year and this

lovely part of East Lancashire to do battle over some of
the best cycling territory in the country.
National Elite Men's and Women's
Road Race Championships
With the National Road Race Championships being held
as part of the Festival we shall see the only racinsg
appearance of the new Sky Pro Road Team on these shores.
But can they triumph over the best home-based riders, on
Sunday 27th June?
National Cyclo-Sportive (formerly
Pendle Pedal 2009)
Making it an absolute feast of cycling activity and
entertainment, we have moved our popular Pendle Pedal
and now re-titled the
National Cyclo-sportive, it will
take place the day before the Road Race Champs from the
same start & finish.
Racing action is not confined then as the annual
Colne Grand Prix brings thousands of spectators to the
streets of this town to watch the excitement of the
National Elite Series. Previous winners have included
Chris Newton, Russell Downing, Dean Downing and Ian
Wilkinson, all internationalists.
Complementing the racing action are
activities
designed to encourage cycling and inform.
