Ladies, gentlemen, sprinters, tractors, Yorkshiremen. This is the annual sighting of Christopher Pritchard - 2 times Commonwealth Games participant for Scotland(yes he did) - climbing up one whopper of a climb.

This ride will be open to all, go hard, go slow, tow Chris up the Alpe - do whatever your heart desires this Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, this ride will be an opportunity to unlock the CyclingHub kit. You can ride like Chris in zwift. Do not worry, you will probably look better.

We will set out at a steady pace with a fence put up to ensure that even the off chance flier won’t get out and spoil this “joyful” festive ride. Once at the bottom, you are all set free to lick the stamp & send it up this spicy boi.

If you are not able to ride this event, you can follow it live on youtube on the Chris Pritchard Cycling News channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC_jekqrsLfMsZKOe3276YgOpens a new window). Where you can watch one T H I C C boi sweat, moan, horse breathe on your living room couch (we strongly advise you to wear headphones if you do).

And, just like every primary school teacher says, the most important thing is to have type 2 fun!

p.s. If you wait at the top for Chris and his tugboat crew, we will do a cheeky race down the alpe(weight and height will not be checked so go wild). If you finish behind Chris: it will probably take him 20 minutes to get ready so do not worry.
