Embark on the Three Classic Climbs loop, a racebike challenge spanning 86.1 miles (138.6 km) through the stunning Lake District. This difficult route, which typically takes around 7 hours and 16 minutes to complete, features an impressive 7992 feet (2436 metres) of elevation gain. You will experience consistently spectacular scenery, from extraordinary views over Ambleside and Windermere as you climb The Struggle, to the stupendous fells of rugged Borrowdale from Honister Pass, and the memorable craggy landscapes of Wrynose Pass.
This loop is considered hard and exhausting, demanding very good fitness due to some of the steepest climbs in the UK, with gradients often exceeding 20 percent and sections reaching up to 33 percent. You should be prepared with low gears, as some parts might even require you to push your bike. The road surfaces vary, with some sections being rough, featuring old tarmac, frequent potholes, and rippled surfaces on descents, which require careful attention.
The Three Classic Climbs loop is notable for its extreme challenge, incorporating some of the toughest road climbs in the UK and serving as a significant test of endurance. It offers an iconic Lake District experience, showcasing dramatic fells, lakes, and unspoiled valleys. The route includes renowned passes featured in cycling books and events, such as Wrynose Pass, home to the historic Three Shire Stone, solidifying its status as a bucket-list ride for experienced cyclists.
