Wensleydale Full TriBIKE

About trip

A tough start to the bike route as when you exit the swim you are faced with the steep accent 1:4. So ensure you have your bike set in an easy gear when you exit the swim. Take a look at BC tips here. Travelling over the famous Butter Tubs route which connects Muker and Hawes made even more famous by the Tour in 2014, cyclists will experience the stunning barren land though they may not experience the support seen in the Tour. Expect some long climbs with some steep sections to reach spectacular open moorland. The Buttertubs themselves are a series of open shafts near the summit into which farmers would lower their butter and cheese to keep them cool.
