The Routes

Dont be fooled by the elevation profile of the Tour of Cambridgshire. Similar to Western Flanders, the challenge is all about how you tackle the winds. Leaving Peterborough and heading south, the route starts with a few small lumps before settling into the flat lands and unprotected lanes where the headwinds could make the route a real struggle.

Ride Distance: 120

Elevation gain: 412

A super flat route in the Fens. The highest point of the ride is 72m above sea level! Even this route though has some lumps at the start, expect some effort in the first 30km. From then on, the route is pretty flat but the challenge is the winds that on a blowy day can make this route as tough as they come.
