About this route

This route was designed by the organisers of the Cobbler Classic, UK Cycling Events and Wiggle, not by London Dynamo.

Sportive routes change from year to year, and this page follows the 2014 Short route. The Cobbler Classic was an early spring sportive run by UK Cycling Events, with Wiggle as sponsor in 2014, and is no longer run.

On the route

In 2014 the Cobbler Classic started from Towcester in Northamptonshire.

The route measures 62.9km with 745m of climbing, which gives it a Terrain label of Hilly. Its climbing comes in short rises rather than long sustained climbs.

This page is for riding the route outside the sportive, on your own or with friends. There are no organised feed stops, so plan your food and water for the day.

Event names and logos belong to their owners and are shown for identification only. London Dynamo is not affiliated with these events.

Notable climbs

No single climb on this route is long or steep enough to list.
