Details of the latest Bristol Cycle Festival event has been announced – and it’s one for only the very hardiest of cyclists.
The Dundry Drubber is a 25-mile micro-sportive round one of Bristol’s toughest hills, taking place on Sunday 18th September.
“Dundry – a name that strikes fear into all Bristol cyclists. When you see a sign bearing the name, you know that suffering cannot be far behind. Yet with that suffering comes many other things: a sense of achievement, a breathtaking view, a tasty pint of beer.
The ride starts at the Tobacco Factory Theatre in Bedminster at 11 am on Sunday 18th September 2011. The route includes an ascent of every side of the dreaded Dundry Hill.
The route will be fully signed and marshalled and will finish at the Dundry Inn, where a special ‘cyclist-friendly’ bar snacks menu will be on offer.
Entry is £3 in advance (via Paypal to george_salt@hotmail.com) or £4 on the day (pay at the theatre box office).
Prizes will be on offer for outstanding effort and every finisher will receive a reminder of their achievement.
The ride features nearly 3000 feet of climbing packed into a relatively short distance, with grades of up to 1:4. Needless to say it is recommended for experienced cyclists.
