CatZero Cycle Challenge 13-15 September 2019 Event
Our CatZero Cycle Challenge weekend: Fourteen intrepid adventurers set off on our tenth anniversary cycle in September – and they all completed the journey, raising more than £12,000.
To mark our tenth, Danny planned a different route this year – making it a little longer and a ‘true’ east to west, starting in Hornsea and finishing in Southport. These two towns mark the very furthest east and west respectively!
All-in-all we cycled 200-miles, with an impressive total climb of 5,580ft (1710m). But rest-assured there was a full support crew on hand, with all the help our cyclists needed as they encountered almost every weather condition you can imagine.
The ride took place over three days:
• Day One: Hornsea to Doncaster, 71 miles with an 880ft climb (270m). This was the longest distance with the least climb and the greatest proportion of tarmac.
• Day Two: Doncaster to Didsbury: 65 miles and a 3400 ft climb (1040m). This was the most challenging but a beautiful day crossing the Pennines via Woodhead pass. The route to Penistone was mostly on river/canal paths and old railway lines connected with shorter road or trail sections some with steep climbs.
• Day Three: Didsbury to Southport: 63 miles with a 1300 ft climb (400m). Leaving Didsbury, the route joined the Mersey for the first time. As well as old railway and canal sections the route followed the Mersey and Manchester ship canal at times. We then ended the ride at Southport – where we celebrated before heading back to Hull in the transport provided.
