Omloop Het Northantsblad
2 years ago
Starts near Middleton Cheney, GBMORE ROUTES NEAR HERE
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
Starting and finishing from The New Inn, Middleton Cheney. Along the way you will see wide open vistas, encounter the mighty Edge Hill and a dizzying number of changes in direction along quiet lanes.
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
For the first 45kms the route is relatively placid but look out for crosswinds along the open-sided lanes after Chesterton Windmill, and near Lighthorne Heath.
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
After the climbs of Edge Hill, Avon and Burton Dassett the ride kicks across the Northants border and includes around 8kms of ancient cattle drover's trackways. (Be sure to have spares and tools as well as food and drink because of these!)
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
A relentless amount of short, sharp hills and descents will require you to careful judge your pace. The last drover's trail - 2km long emerging next to Sulgrave manor - will sort out who has anything left in the tank ahead of the snappy climb into Greatworth.
🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
This is a classic in the making!
About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
