Scenic Tour de Furness returns with 74 mile Wrynose Pass test

The 31st Tour de Furness Charity Cycling Event returns on June 28, organized by the Rotary Club of Furness and starting at Furness Academy in Barrow. Over three decades, the ride has raised more than £550,000 for local charities, with participants able to support St Mary’s Hospice or a charity of their choice. Four routes are offered, ranging from 14 miles to 74 miles, the latter including the challenging Wrynose Pass. All routes are designed to minimize major-road use and are clearly signposted. Finishers receive a medal and a certificate detailing their ride time, and registration is available at tourdefurness.co.uk.
