Grasmere and the Lake District passes in Grasmere

Every May, a Sunday in early to mid May

Britain's best-known cycle sportive: 112 miles through the heart of the Lake District, taking in the steepest of the big passes. Roadside spectators gather on the hardest climbs, and the route is worth avoiding by car on the day.
