The Experience
The Etape du Dales Long is one of Britain's most respected sportives, covering 167 km through the Yorkshire Dales National Park with 3,200 m of climbing. The route tackles a succession of brutal ascents including Park Rash from Kettlewell (25% ramps, used in the Tour de Yorkshire), Langcliffe Scar, the Coal Road to Dent Station, and the remote high-altitude crossing via Birkdale and Ravenseat before returning to Settle.
