Covering 112 miles, and the most famous passes of the Lake District, the 4 Seasons Fred Whitton Bike Tour follows the annual sportive route but can be completed 365 days a year at your own pace. It's a fantastic opportunity for individuals, groups and clubs to complete one of the most challenging cycling routes in the country, over one or more days, and to get an official finish time on the Fred Whitton website.

SPORTident UK have placed timing stations around the route meaning that if you missed out on the annual sportive challenge, or just want to take a more leisurely pace, you can still get an official time.
