Where to Ride

4 Season Fred

112 miles through the Lake District - 365 days a year.

If you fancy a grand day (or two) out in the Lakes taking in all the toughest passes then the Fred Whitton route might be just what you're looking for.

The route is eponymous with the Fred Whitton Sportive event, which takes place every May, and is always oversubscribed. The 4 Season Fred project now allows you to tackle the course AND time yourself whenever it suits you.
