112 Miles & So Many Very Steep Hills | The Fred Whitton

Описание: The Fred Whitton 2025, The hardest 112 miles I’ve ever ridden.
11,000ft of elevation. Five climbs over 25%. Hardknott Pass at mile 93… in 25°C heat.
This is the Fred Whitton Challenge 2025, and it tested me to my absolute limit.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to complete the UK’s most brutal and difficult cycling sportive, this is the full story — from the 4am alarm in the Lake District to the final climb and everything in between.

📌 Watch in full to experience:

Kirkstone Pass and Park Brow in the early calm

Carnage on Honister Pass and Newlands

Crowds and adrenaline on Whinlatter Pass

The long grind to Cold Fell

Total survival mode on Hardknott Pass

Wrynose Pass and Blea Tarn to finish the job

Medical check at the finish line

And a cancelled train for extra drama…

This ride broke me physically and mentally — but it also reminded me why I ride.
