Stoke-on-Trent
Entry closed
In 2009 the city of Stoke-on-Trent hosted the inaugural Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Ride, and such was the success we returned in 2010, when the event was bigger and better than ever. Now 12 months on and once again we are pleased to be bringing The Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Ride back to Stoke-on-Trent once more.
The city has a rich and proud history of cycling, with The Halfords Tour Series and The Tour of Britain becoming regular and popular fixtures in the Potteries.
The stage route for 2011 is similar to two year’s ago, retaining the popular test of Gun Hill in the Staffordshire Moorlands, so expect a rolling route with plenty of ‘hidden’ climbs to test the legs. The Tour of Britain Stage Three takes place on Tuesday 13th September, 12 days before The Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Ride, so giving participants an insight into how the world’s top professionals tackle the route.
Pro Ride 140km
The Stoke-on-Trent Stage is always one of The Tour of Britain’s toughest, with the Pro Ride giving you the chance to ride a hilly stage in the Staffordshire Moorlands that will help shape the destination of The Tour’s race leader’s IG Markets Gold Jersey.
Challenge Ride 80km
Featuring the same Trentham Gardens start and finish as the Pro Ride, the Challenge Ride gives a taste of this tough Tour of Britain stage without many of the tough climbs of the Staffordshire Moorlands, providing a great way into sampling a Tour Ride.
